37 Underlining
You should underline titles of books and foreign words or phrases. When you
refer to the titles of long works (novels, plays, books of history or philosophy,
long poems), underline them; when you refer to the titles of short works (essays,
short stories, and — naturally — short poems), put them in quotation marks.
Exceptions are the Koran, the Bible, and individual books of the Bible (such as Exodus or the New Testament).
Incorrect: Aristophanes' "The Clouds" uses the device known as deus ex machina.
Revised: Aristophanes' The Clouds uses the device known as deus ex machina.
Note: Italics are the equivalent of underlining, so they may be used interchangeably.
