questions -

1. Include the "Ed. and with Intro. Harold Bloom" portion?

———. “Norman in Egypt.” . Ed. and with Intro. Harold Bloom. Philadelphia: Chelsea House Publishers, 2003.

@Amylhester: First, be sure you're using citation templates. Just using editor here is fine, unless you're citing the intro.

2. What if ed. and trans. by same person and with a different author??

Brecht, Bertolt. Brecht on Theater: the Development of an Aesthetic. Trans. and ed. by John Willet. New York: Hill and Wang, 2001.

You could use both in the template, or pick the more important: in this case editor.

3. What to do if editor citation lists and editor and et al.?

Adorno, Teodor, et al. Aesthetics and Politics. New York: Verso, 1978.

Find the orginal source and list the editors. —Grlucas (talk) 07:50, 3 September 2020 (EDT)

My citations included 2 journals which didn't exactly fit the usual MLA style - missing the volume and issue numbers and used month instead. I looked up the citations using GALILEO to find that information and included it and wanted to double-check that was the correct thing to do.

original text:

Nielson, Heather.“Jack’s Ghost: Reappearances of John Kennedy in the work of Gore Vidal and Norman Mailer.” American Studies International (October 1997): 23–24.

Whalen-Bridge, John. “The Myth of American Adam in Late Mailer.” Connotations (1995–6): 304–321.

the citations I added to my article:

• Nielson, Heather (1997). "Jack's Ghost: Reappearances of John Kennedy in the work of Gore Vidal and Norman Mailer". American Studies International. 35 (3): 23–24.
• Whalen-Bridge, John (1995). "The Myth of American Adam in Late Mailer". Connotations. 5 (2–3): 304–321.
