Explain
If you cite two or more works from the same anthology, you can provide an entry for the whole anthology, listed by the editor’s name.
Then in separate entries, list the author and title of each selection, followed by the last name of the editor of the anthology and the page numbers on which the selection appears.
Alphabetize the entry for the anthology under the name of its editor (Craig); alphabetize the entries for the selections under the names of the authors (Desai, Malouf).
Use the medium only in the entry for the complete anthology.
