How to quote reviews?


If you quote book reviews in anthropological journals, their title is often similar or equivalent to the book title. If you quote this review, it could be confusing. Are there any common solutions?

An example:

Book: Carroll, Lewis. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Ultimate Illustrated Edition. Compiled & Arranged by Cooper Edens. New York: Bantam Books,1989.

Text of Review: "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Ultimate Illustrated Edition. Compiled & Arranged by Cooper Edens. New York: Bantam Books,1989. By Lewis Carroll.

This book is a wonderful new edition of the story of a blabla (...). By Robert Insight"

How to quote this Review?

One possibility: "Insight, Robert: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Ultimate Illustrated Edition. Compiled & Arranged by Cooper Edens. New York: Bantam Books,1989. By Lewis Carroll. In: Journal of Children Literature, Vol. 3 (1992), p. 34-37. " Would it be a common possibility to place the title in quotes, so the reader would understand which is the quote, and which the quote of the quote?

Second possibility: "Insight, Robert: Review to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Ultimate Illustrated Edition (...). In: Journal of Children Literature, Vol. 3 (1992), p. 34-37. "

Any other ideas how this is handled?

I would do it like that:
Insight, Robert 1992. Review of: Lewis Caroll 1989 [1891]. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Ultimate Illustrated Edition (...). In: Journal of Children Literature, Vol. 3, p. 34-37. "

Das erste Beispiel ist nur so verwirrend, weil in dem Titel des Reviews einfach nur der Titel des Buches stand, ohne das Wort "review" zu erwähnen.

Was ist daran gaga? Wenn ich von einem Ethnologen des letzten Jahrhunderts biographische Erkenntnisse brauche, dann gehört da auch die Rezeptionsgeschichte seiner Werke in der Fachpresse dazu.

okayokay

wenn sie (wissenschaftliche) biographie(n) über die Rezeptionsgeschichte seiner Werke in der Fachpresse konstruieren, dann klar. aber muss man das?
