• To indicate short citations (of less than 40 words), enclose the quotation within single quotation marks.

• When using short (fewer than three lines of verse) quotations from poetry, mark breaks with a slash, ( / ), at the end of each line of verse

• For quotations that are more than 40 words of prose or three lines of verse, place quotations in a free-standing block of text and omit quotation marks

• If you omit anything from a quotation, you should indicate the deleted word or words by using ellipsis contained in square brackets: […].

• Please indicate the source of all quotations using footnotes (not endnotes).

• The footnote should contain, in this order: the author’s name: title of the work cited, the place and name of publisher, the date of publication and the number of the page from which the citation is taken. For example:  Siegfried Sassoon, Siegfried’s Journey (London: Faber and Faber, 1945) p.10.
