Usage
MLA documentation style is used in scholarship throughout the humanities, especially in English studies, modern languages and literatures, comparative literature, literary criticism, media studies, cultural studies, and related disciplines.
The MLA Style Manual is one of two books on MLA documentation style published by the MLA. While the MLA Handbook is aimed at secondary and post-secondary students and their teachers, the intended audience of the Manual primarily consists of graduate students, academic scholars, professors, professional writers, and editors.

History
Both the MLA Handbook and the MLA StyleManual were preceded by a slim booklet titled the MLA Style Sheet, first published in 1951 and revised in 1970. The Style Sheet was allowed to go out of print after the commercial success of the Handbook, creating the need for the Manual as a companion to the Handbook.
The MLA Style Manual went out of print in 2016. As of April 2017, the organization claims to be "developing additional publications to address the professional needs of scholars."
