COLT: Citation On-Line Tutorial
Another common type of source you will encounter is an article in an edited collection of essays. When citing the article for the first time, you must give details of the article itself (its author, title, page span) and of the book it appears in (the book's title, editor, and publication details). This information takes the following form:
For instance, if I quoted text from page 88 of the following article, the footnote would be presented as:
Gerald Lynch, 'Religion and Romance in Mariposa', in Stephen Leacock: A Reappraisal, ed. by David Staines (Ottawa: University of Ottawa Press, 1986), pp. 83-96 (p. 88).

A. J. Hoenselaars, 'Shakespeare and the Early Modern History Play', in The Cambridge Companion to Shakespeare's History Plays, ed. by Michael Hattaway (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2002), pp. 25-40 (p. 39).
Note an author's initials should always be separated by a space; so here 'A. J.' not 'A.J.'
Where a quotation appears in an article's title, it should be placed in quotation marks, e.g.:
Richard Beadle, '"I wol nat telle it yit": John Selden and a Lost Version of the Cook's Tale', in Chaucer to Shakespeare: Essays in Honour of Shinsuke Ando, ed. by Toshiyuki Takamiya and Richard Beadle (Cambridge: D. S. Brewer, 1992), pp. 55-66.
Note also that you should not change the capitalisation of a quotation when it's given in a title.
