Can someone give me the MLA citation of Frankenstein?

You’ll need to know the exact publisher of your book. There are so many different editions of Frankenstein, and your quotations need to reference the right edition. If your essay has no quotations, then you could use any edition of Frankenstein for your bibliography (as shown in the other answer, for example). But if you’ve quoted, you’ll need to find out what edition you were using. Broadview? Penguin? (etc)

If you’re unsure, it might be helpful to look at the photos of the books shown at amazon.com, or a similar site. If you see a picture of the book you were using, you can figure out the edition by scrolling down to the publication information.

MLA citation (be sure to follow punctuation exactly): Last name, first name. Title (in italics or underlined). City: Publishing Company, year.
