          5. Great moments in history of footing, from Hugh Kenner's The Stoic Comedians (1963), where the footnotes themselves illustrate the argument about the literary effect of footnotes.pic.twitter.com/udlLjg9ZlA

          6. Great moments in the history of footnotes: Fredric Jameson's Marxism & Form (1971) has a footnote that is similar in effect to Kenner, ibid. I think deliberately so since Jameson reviewed Kenner in Bucknell Review, 18(1) (Spring, 1970) 63–80.pic.twitter.com/7sHrswnO44

          IMHO the best parts of many history books are a. The footnotes and b. The acknowledgements.

          If I ever find the time, I'm going to do a gender history of academia as seen through the prism of acknowledgements.
