- Italicize titles of works that are produced separately from other works,
such as books, plays, periodicals, movies, etc.
I have seen Star Wars three times.
I subscribe to the Washington Post.
Have you read The Age of Innocence?
NOTE: Notice in the last example how the question mark is NOT italicized.
Do not italicize a punctuation mark unless it is part of the title.
- Use quotation marks for all other titles (songs, essays, articles,
etc.)
The Beatles’ album, Revolver, contains the song "Dr. Robert."
We read Keats’ poem "Ode on a Grecian Urn" in class this week.
