Citing Quotes?

If you want to site a quote in a bibliography, how would you do so? The example is an anecdote written by a French man in the Middle Ages. The quote was contained in another resource. How do I show that the French man said the quote?

Thanks so much!

If the quote was contained in the secondary resource, you only need to cite the resource you already have. If you want to give credit to the author of the quote, start your sentence with something like this…

“in the middle ages, (person) said…(insert quote)” and then cite the source you got it from. make sure you tie it to the flow of your paragraph though

it’s not necessary to find the primary source, but you could do a search for it or even check _Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations_ for the quote, (available in any library in the reference section)and cite that as a reference.

Yes, you continue to have got to incorporate citations for ALL direct charges. You can more commonly do away with the writer’s final identify within the quotation and simply incorporate the web page quantity so long as you may have made the identify and the writer obvious previous within the paragraph.
