How do you properly cite Sparknotes? (MLA format)?

I went to sparknote's help section, and found something telling me to put the author's name and stuff, but I can't find anywhere the author of the sparknotes pages that I'm using.

(their advice http://cgi.sparknotes.com/citing.epl )

clearly the author they're referring to in that isn't the author of the work being analyzed, as Brian Philips didn't write Shakespear's Hamlet...

I need to cite this page:

http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/gulliver/

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

    The standard format for an online citation is:

    Author's name (last name first). Document title. Date of access (day, month, year) <URL>.

    Example:

    Phillips, Brian. SparkNote on Shakespeare's Hamlet. 1 Sep. 2001

    <http://www.sparknotes.com/shakespeare/hamlet%3E.

    • Remember to indent a citation if it occupies more than one line.

    • If you are citing a particular page, adjust the URL in your citation accordingly.

    • Please be sure to cite your sources. For more information about what plagiarism is and how to avoid it, please read our article on The Plagiarism Plague. If you have any questions regarding how to use or include references to SparkNotes in your work, please tell us.

    the respond is that Macbeth is time-honored to be between the main nicely known royalties of the era, and could be recollected as a maximum momentous upholder of Lyrical Abstraction till the tip of days till the tip of days
