In some forms of publication, italics is preferred to quotation marks for composition titles. In the example you provided, you would be correct if italics is preferred. I'm just going by the Associated Press stylebook (copy at my side as I type this), which calls for quotation marks for "The Importance of Being Earnest." Specifically, the stylebook says: "Put quotation marks around the names of all such works except the Bible and books that are primarily catalogs of reference material. In other words, it's "Gone With the Wind" but the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Covered by the quotation mark rule are book titles, computer game titles (but not software titles), movie titles, opera titles, play titles, poem titles, song titles, TV program titles and the titles of lectures, speeches and works of art.
