ENG 1002: Hamlet Sources on the Works Cited Page

Method 1: To list works from the Norton Critical Edition of Hamlet on your Works Cited page, follow the guidelines on page 782 of the textbook (under "7. Essay in a collection, casebook, or critical edition"). The original publication information for the work is listed first; the information that follows is for the Norton Critical Edition itself. Make sure to follow the format exactly as the instructions indicate, and please ask if you have questions!

Works Cited

Jones, Ernest. “Tragedy and the Mind of the Infant.” Hamlet and Oedipus.

Norton, 1949. Rpt. in William Shakespeare's Hamlet. Ed. Cyrus

Hoy. New York: Norton, 1992. 200-207.

Knight, G. Wilson. “The Embassy of Death: An Essay on Hamlet.” London:

Methuen, 1930. Rpt. in William Shakespeare's Hamlet. Ed. Cyrus

Method 2: If you use at least a few works from the critical edition, cross-referencing the works is the better option. You do this by listing the Norton Critical Edition as a separate source. Then, for each work you list from the Norton Critical Edition, you do not need to include all of the publication information for the critical edition (because it is already listed on the page). Instead, you would present the original publication information for the work, followed by "Rpt. in Hoy 149-156." (with no quotation marks and using the complete page numbers for the article).
