      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

          Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke has quite a few absolutely marvelous footnotes that make the world of the book incredibly colorful and rich.
