Looking Through the Glass

Poet, author, and playwright: these are all accurate descriptions of

Tennessee Williams, yet somehow, those words fail to express the broad impact
of his works on American culture. Born in 1911, Thomas Lanier Williams was
the second child of Cornelius and Edwina Williams. At age five, Thomas
became very ill with diphtheria and nearly died. During his lengthy recovery
young Thomas became more introverted, discovered the joys of reading, writing,
and using his very fertile imagination (Heintzelman and Smith-Howard 4).
Williams began writing stories at a very young age, and his first short story,
“Isolated,” was published in his junior high school newspaper (Roudane svi). He
later adopted his college nickname, dropped the name Thomas, and became
Tennessee Williams. Williams’ “first critical acclaim came in 1944 when The
Glass Managerie opened in Chicago and went to Broadway. It won a ‘Pulitzer
Prize, the New York Drama Critics Circle Award and, as a film, the New York
Film Critics’ Circle Award’” (“American Masters”). Like many authors,
Williams often used his personal experiences as the foundation for his stories.
Significant people and places in a writer’s life may be vaguely alluded to or
blatantly caricatured in his or her works. Tennessee Williams uses his early
family life for the basic structure of many of his works including his first
successful play The Glass Managerie, vividly sketching a portrait of the
interpersonal relationships and underlying tensions in his family.

• Quotations of more than

• The quote should begin with an introductory phrase.
Quotation marks should surround the quote and then be
followed by the parenthetical (in-text) citation and then
the sentence punctuation.
• When using the author’s name in the sentence, omit the
name from the in-text citation.
• If there is more than one work from the same author, then
the in-text citation requires the author’s name, title of work,
and page number.
• When quoting poems, separate the lines with space

Quotation Examples
With author’s name in introductory phrase
In The Glass Menagerie, Williams pens Amanda as a Southern belle, and
she recalls, “Among my callers were some of the most prominent young
planters of the Mississippi delta” (981).
Without author’s name in introductory phrase
In The Glass Menagerie, the mother, Amanda, is a true Southern belle,
and she recalls, “Among my callers were some of the most prominent
young planters of the Mississippi delta” (Williams 981).
Author with more than one work cited
Tom says that Laura is “terribly shy and lives in a world of her own and
those things make her seem a little peculiar” (Williams, The Glass
Menagerie 999).
Quote from a poem
“’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves / Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;” (Carroll lines 1-
2).
Block Quotation
These must be set apart from the rest of the text by indenting the
entire quote one inch from the left margin and omitting the
quotation marks. The introductory phrase will be followed by a
colon.
Tom sails from port to port in the Merchant Marines searching for some
way to ease his guilt. In his essay “Entering the Glass Menagerie,” C.W.E.
Bigsby comments:
[Tom Wingfield] revisits the past because he knows that his own
freedom, such as it is, has been purchased at the price of
abandoning others, as Williams had abandoned his mother and,
more poignantly, his sister. He “writes” the play, more
significantly, perhaps, because he has not affected that escape
from the past which had been his primary motive for leaving. (37)
Tom’s memories of his life with his mother and sister are all the more
painful because they are the incarnation of Williams’ real-life experiences.

 Citation Styles
Citing Secondary Sources
In some cases, the information that you use from one source may
be quoted material from another source. In this case, both the
originator of the quote and the source that you are looking at must
get credit in the text.
For example, you are reading Smith’s article, and in the article,
Smith quotes Jones’ work. If you want to use Jones’ ideas, you
need to give credit for both the ideas (Jones) and where you found
the information (Smith’s article). On the Works Cited page, cite
Smith’s article because it is the source you found and read. There
are two in-text citation options:
• With Jones’ name in the introductory phrase:
In his book Conversations with Tennessee Wiliams, Robert Jones quotes
Williams as saying, “the glass animals came to represent the fragile
delicate ties that must be broken, that you inevitably break, when you try
to fulfill yourself” (qtd. in Smith 37).

• Without Jones’ name in the introductory phrase:

One author recalls Williams as saying, “the glass animals came to
represent the fragile delicate ties that must be broken, that you inevitably
break, when you try to fulfill yourself” (Jones as qtd. in Smith 37).

2) Title of source.

The title of the source is a required component of creating the

MLA citation.
The formatting of the title is important so that your reader will
know instantly what type of source you are talking about. If a
source is self-contained, then it is written in italics. If a source is
part of a larger work, then it will be formatted with “quotation
marks” surrounding it.
The Great Gatsby
Titles in Italics
Italics are used for big things. Amazon
These are things that stand alone The New York Times
by themselves as a unit. The Pride and Prejudice
names of books, websites,
journals, movies, and television
series are written in italics.

Many times, these types of sources “A Rose for Emily”

are listed as the container. If it is
the only source, then it can be

larger works; therefore, the Titles are given in the entry in full

source. The only exception is to

3) Title of container,

When a source that is being documented is part of a larger source,

then the larger source is considered the container that holds that
source. The title of these containers is normally italicized.
Typical containers are

4) Contributor,

This is a second type of author spot. So, if you have already

included the editor as the author, then do not include it here. List
these names in normal order, i.e. Firstname Lastname.
Common descriptions of contributors are
• adapted by • introduction by
• directed by • narrated by
• edited by • performance by
• illustrated by • translated by

5) Version,

If the source indicates that it is from a version other than the

original, then write this information here.
Common words to indicate version are edition, version or cut.

6) Number,

Some sources may be part of a numbered sequence. If so, indicate

the volume and number, or, in the case of television, season and
episode, here.

Make sure to use the abbreviations for volume and number

when writing out this information. For example, a source in
volume 64 number 1 would look like: vol. 64 no. 1

7) Publisher,

The publisher of a work is the organization or person primarily

responsible for paying for the work and making sure that it was
produced.
In this section, list the publisher only and not the location of the
publisher.

Creating a Works Cited Entry
The easiest way to formulate the citation is to:
1. Fill out the core elements chart with the information
that you find about your source.
2. Use the chart to complete your works cited entry.
3. Use the information from the works cited entry to create
the in-text citations throughout the paper.

Below is an example of going through this process step by step.

Step One:
Example

2) Title of source. JaneEyre.
