For quotes taken from the course textbook, including those from primary sources that are included in the textbook, you only need to list the textbook author’s last name and page number in parentheses at the end of the relevant sentence, as in this example: “The gruesome prints that make up ‘The Disasters of War’ have their source in historical fact as well as in Goya’s imagination” (Fiero 345). Further, since you are only permitted to use your course textbook for this assignment, a works cited list is not required
