Citing Indirect Sources
Whenever possible, your citation should direct the reader to the original source, not a secondary one, such as a quotation in the work of another critic or historian. There are occasions, however, when it is only possible to cite an indirect source. In such cases give the reader a sense of the original, and then a full citation of the source that you used. For example:
T. S. Eliot, 'The "Pensées" of Pascal', in Selected Essays (London, 1932), quoted in Ron Bush, T.S. Eliot: A Study of Character and Style (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1983), p. 105.
