--- Quote from: Oxford University Style Guide ---... books/films/songs/games etc – capitalise the first word of the title, and all words within the title except articles (a/an/the), prepositions (to/on/for etc) and conjunctions (but/and/or etc). 
✓ The Last Mohican
✓ Far from the Madding Crowd
✓ Gone with the Wind
✓ World of Warcraft
✓ Grand Theft Auto III
✓ 'Always Look on the Bright Side of Life'
✘ 'Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life'

My emphasis.

Barmymoo:
If it's part of a proper noun, it gets a capital. Unless the proper noun in question is e e cummings in which case it gets no capitals, mwahaha.

Add: Oh hey that's interesting. Although e e cummings did sometimes write his name with lower case letters, apparently he usually used capitals. It's a convention that other people have adopted on his behalf!

Method of Madness:
I stand corrected. It's still weird to me to capitalize articles outside the first word of a sentence, but I guess I can't deny it's correct.

pwhodges:
But you'd do it with personal names without a thought.  I would normally also place titles in italics; so I might write about Wagner's opera cycle: The Ring.
