I'm using xetex with unicode quotes (“ and ”), along with the mla.sty style for MLA papers. The opening quotation mark works (“) but not the ending (”). I can't figure out whether this is because of some sort of collision with periods (.”) or what. The only error messages I get seem irrelevant:

Virginia Woolf's novel \emph{Between the Acts} is overwhelmingly concerned
with history and history's representations. It exhibits a complex dialectic of
tradition, which eschews monolinear historical narratives in favor of
multiplicitous, fractured histories, revealing what Nietzsche terms the “uses
and abuses of history.” Oscillations between narrative modes, such as those of
the novel and the play-within-the-novel,
And the output:
As you can see, the second quotation mark is missing. Any reason this might be happening? How can I fix it? I know I can get xetex to treat ligatures like latex, and then replace these unicode quotation marks with `` and '', but that will take a lot of work and make my code less readable.
