If you cite two works by the same author, MLA style asks that you list them in alphabetical order by the title, and include the author’s name only for the first source. For the other sources, include three hyphens (as above) to indicate that the work is by the same author. (After the authors’ names, follow the instructions on this site for the type of book or article you’re citing.)
In APA style, you list all books in the same format, but you order them in chronological order, starting with the earliest. (In cases where an author has two or more texts published in the same year, add a letter after the year to distinguish between them. For instance, if you used two Bartholomae texts from the same year, you’d refer to them as (1986a) and (1986b).
In Chicago style, footnotes to two works by the same author use the standard format. In the Bibliography, follow MLA guidelines. See More Notes on Chicago Style for more information.
Note: If you cite one source with Bartholomae as the sole author, and one for which he has a co-author, you write out both authors’ names in the second listing. (Example below in MLA style; adjust as needed for other styles.)
