According to the MHRA Style Guide, this item should be cited in a bibliography as follows:

Brook, Clodagh, Mussgnug, Florian, and Pieri, Giuliana, ‘Chapter 8 - 2020: Contagion’, in Brook, Clodagh, Florian Mussgnug, and Giuliana Pieri, Intermedia in Italy: From Futurism to Digital Convergence, Visual Culture, 6 (Legenda, 2024), pp. 195–222, doi:10.59860/vc.c58c723

This is how standard MHRA style would look. Some of its book series (notably Legenda) allow an alternative citation system called 'author-date', but please talk to your editor before using it. (To see the demonstration for author-date, follow this link.)

Let's take this bibliography entry one step at a time:

Step 1. We start with the name(s) of the author(s) of the article, inverting the first name into the form 'Forename, Surname'.

Brook, Clodagh, Mussgnug, Florian, and Pieri, Giuliana

Step 2. This is regular MHRA style, so the name's followed by a comma.

Brook, Clodagh, Mussgnug, Florian, and Pieri, Giuliana,

Step 3. Now we add the title, in single inverted commas. Any single quotation marks already in the title must be converted to doubles.

Brook, Clodagh, Mussgnug, Florian, and Pieri, Giuliana, ‘Chapter 8 - 2020: Contagion’

Step 4. We have to say where this comes from, so:

Brook, Clodagh, Mussgnug, Florian, and Pieri, Giuliana, ‘Chapter 8 - 2020: Contagion’, in

Step 5. Next, the author(s) of the book, which come before the title because this is a monograph.

Brook, Clodagh, Mussgnug, Florian, and Pieri, Giuliana, ‘Chapter 8 - 2020: Contagion’, in Brook, Clodagh, Florian Mussgnug, and Giuliana Pieri

Step 6. Now a comma, not a full stop:

Brook, Clodagh, Mussgnug, Florian, and Pieri, Giuliana, ‘Chapter 8 - 2020: Contagion’, in Brook, Clodagh, Florian Mussgnug, and Giuliana Pieri,

Step 7. Here we have the book's title, in italics, not quotation marks.

Brook, Clodagh, Mussgnug, Florian, and Pieri, Giuliana, ‘Chapter 8 - 2020: Contagion’, in Brook, Clodagh, Florian Mussgnug, and Giuliana Pieri, Intermedia in Italy: From Futurism to Digital Convergence

Step 8. This book belongs to a series, so we'll name that. If the series is numbered, we give the number, too. No italics, no quotation marks in the series name.

Brook, Clodagh, Mussgnug, Florian, and Pieri, Giuliana, ‘Chapter 8 - 2020: Contagion’, in Brook, Clodagh, Florian Mussgnug, and Giuliana Pieri, Intermedia in Italy: From Futurism to Digital Convergence, Visual Culture, 6

Step 9. Since this is a book, not a journal issue, we have to identify its source, in round brackets. Until 2024, MHRA style required a place of publication - for example, New York or Oxford. This is no longer given except in special circumstances.

Brook, Clodagh, Mussgnug, Florian, and Pieri, Giuliana, ‘Chapter 8 - 2020: Contagion’, in Brook, Clodagh, Florian Mussgnug, and Giuliana Pieri, Intermedia in Italy: From Futurism to Digital Convergence, Visual Culture, 6 (

Step 10. Now a colon, a space, and the publisher's name. Here that's Legenda because this is the imprint name under which the book is published, even though Legenda is not strictly speaking a company. To decide these things, one must look at the exact wording of the preliminary pages. Our preference is for Legenda books to be cited as 'Legenda', and we word our preliminaries with that aim.

Brook, Clodagh, Mussgnug, Florian, and Pieri, Giuliana, ‘Chapter 8 - 2020: Contagion’, in Brook, Clodagh, Florian Mussgnug, and Giuliana Pieri, Intermedia in Italy: From Futurism to Digital Convergence, Visual Culture, 6 (Legenda

Step 11. Then the year of first publication, and we're done with the bracketed part.

Brook, Clodagh, Mussgnug, Florian, and Pieri, Giuliana, ‘Chapter 8 - 2020: Contagion’, in Brook, Clodagh, Florian Mussgnug, and Giuliana Pieri, Intermedia in Italy: From Futurism to Digital Convergence, Visual Culture, 6 (Legenda, 2024)

Step 12. Now the pagination. And we use 'p.' or 'pp.' as appropriate. Number ranges are elided in the last two digits: thus '2234-2265' should be '2234-65', and '102-109' should be '102-09'.

Brook, Clodagh, Mussgnug, Florian, and Pieri, Giuliana, ‘Chapter 8 - 2020: Contagion’, in Brook, Clodagh, Florian Mussgnug, and Giuliana Pieri, Intermedia in Italy: From Futurism to Digital Convergence, Visual Culture, 6 (Legenda, 2024), pp. 195–222

Step 13. This contribution has a DOI, so the Fourth Edition Guide (2024) requires us to quote it, like so.

Brook, Clodagh, Mussgnug, Florian, and Pieri, Giuliana, ‘Chapter 8 - 2020: Contagion’, in Brook, Clodagh, Florian Mussgnug, and Giuliana Pieri, Intermedia in Italy: From Futurism to Digital Convergence, Visual Culture, 6 (Legenda, 2024), pp. 195–222, doi:10.59860/vc.c58c723

And that's the finished bibliography entry. Note that there's no final full stop.

So how about citations in footnotes or endnotes?

In standard MHRA style, the first time the work is cited in a note, it should be cited in full. This looks very like a Bibliography entry, but:

• The author's name doesn't always come first: only for monographs. For collections and editions, the title comes first.
• Even if the author's name does come first, it's back to being the right way round, so it's Forename Surname, not Surname, Forename;
• Unlike Bibliography entries, notes are punctuated as sentences, and usually end in full stops.

Suppose we want to cite a passage on pages 24 to 27:

³⁴ See Clodagh Brook, Florian Mussgnug, Giuliana Pieri, ‘Chapter 8 - 2020: Contagion’, in Clodagh Brook, Florian Mussgnug and Giuliana Pieri, Intermedia in Italy: From Futurism to Digital Convergence, Visual Culture, 6 (Legenda, 2024), pp. 195–222, doi:10.59860/vc.c58c723, pp. 24-27.

But in any subsequent notes, a heavily abbreviated form is used:

³⁷ Compare Brook, Mussgnug, and Pieri, p. 17.
