General :: LaTeX - Document Details (Author / Date) Will Not Display

The following are the two tex input files written in vi and compiled with pdflatex. In the first case the document details (author, date etc) are displayed as desired but are omitted in the second case. The only difference is the use of maketitle.

Case 1:
documentclass{article}
author{Name}
date{}
itle{Title}
Begin{document}
maketitle
Text to be inputted
end{document}

Case 2:
documentclass{article}
author{Name}
date{}
itle{Title}
Begin{document}
Text to be inputted
end{document}
