Page numbering
All but the first page of the text proper should be numbered.

Titles
Italicize the titles of books, plays, and periodicals; short stories and poems are to be put in quotation marks.

In titles of French journals and periodicals, the first word and all the principal words are capitalized. In other French titles, the first word is always capitalized; if a substantive immediately follows an initial article, it is also capitalized; if the substantive is preceded by an adjective both are capitalized; if the title begins with any word other than an article or adjective, the words following are all in lower case: Revue des Sciences Humaines; La Revue des Deux Mondes; Les Femmes homicides; Histoire de la vie privée; Le Pur et l’impur; A la recherche du temps perdu; En rade; “La Fausse Monnaie”.

Documentation
For documentation, Dix-Neuf follows the author-date system, as in The MLA Style Manual (New York: Modern Lang. Assn., 2nd ed., 1999). Endnotes for substantive comment only, plus a Works Cited list. Copies of The MLA Style Manual may be purchased from the MLA, 10 Astor Place, New York, NY 10003 or from http://www.mla.org/. The most relevant sections of this style manual for documentation in Dix-Neuf are those found on pages 155 to 250, sections 6.6 to 7.4.10.

Guide for References
Endnotes are to be avoided for bibliographical information. Rather, the essay must contain a Works Cited section. For a multi-volume work, always state the complete number of volumes. To indicate page and volume number, a brief reference should be inserted, within parentheses, in the text itself. Use Arabic numbers, not Roman numerals, when giving volume numbers, followed by a colon and page numbers. Special note should be taken that “Ibid.” and “op. cit.” are no longer used, nor are the abbreviations “p.” or “pp.”

Examples of Works Cited:

Balzac, Honoré de. 1976-81. La Comédie humaine. 12 vols. Paris: Gallimard-Pléiade.

Spang, Rebecca. 2000. The Invention of the Restaurant. Paris and Modern Gastronomic Culture. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press.

Examples of Parenthetical References in the Text:
In La Cousine Bette Balzac intones: “La courtisane, au contraire, serait l’oeuvre de Carême avec ses condiments, avec ses épices et ses recherches” (7: 319).
(7 refers to volume number, 319 to page number.)

French literary history is marked by the “immense shadow” (Furet 156) of the Revolution.

In Furet’s view French literary history is marked by the “immense shadow” (156) of the Revolution.
