Is a book title underlined or italicized in mla?

In MLA 7 and 8, titles of books, journals, websites, albums, blogs, movies, tv shows, magazines, and newspapers should all be italicized. Titles of articles, episodes, interviews, songs, should be in quotes. Quotation marks or italics are not required for articles, webpages, songs, episodes, etc.

Is there a comma before the title of a book?

Commas should sometimes be placed before – and after – names and titles. Let’s start with the fact that unless a name or title is the last word(s) in a sentence, it can either be used with no commas at all, OR with a comma both before and after. It is incorrect to place only one comma before the name or title.

How do you punctuate the title of a book in a sentence?

Titles of full works like books or newspapers should be italicized. Titles of short works like poems, articles, short stories, or chapters should be put in quotation marks. Titles of books that form a larger body of work may be put in quotation marks if the name of the book series is italicized.
