But I probably just clicked the wrong comments link. BTW, I too quite enjoy <i>Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell</i>. The TV series adaptation isn't bad, either.Brian W.

(Hardouin believed that most of classical Roman literature, except for Pliny's Natural History and Vergil's Georgics, was forged by a gang of late medieval Italians.) A few other works that come to mind are Joseph M. Levine's marvelous book <i>Dr. Woodward's Shield</i>, which examines how an obviously fake (to modern eyes) Roman shield could have fooled some of the best scholars of the Augustan Age. Going earlier, my colleague Anna Lisa Taylor has a chapter in her <i>Epic Lives</i> arguing that the abbot Hilduin of St.-Denis forged a number of documents on the life of his abbey's supposed patron, Dionysius the Areopagite. And I can't close this comment without mentioning the marvelous book by Richard Altick, <i>The Scholar-Adventureres</i>, that introduced me to Macpherson's forgery of Ossian and various other literary mysteries and subterfuges.Brian W.

In one chapter of the PhD thesis I submitted 12 days ago (yes, SUBMITTED!), I focused on Eliza Haywood's "Adventures of Eovaai" (1736), specifically looking at her use of many footnotes in the text. Haywood's "novel" is also one (like "Strange and Norrell") that is difficult to categorize, and one of its central characters is also a magician! He's a bad one, a necromancer who seeks to dupe an entire kingdom, but still, magic! I also connected Haywood's use of footnotes to the flashpoints of credulity and skepticism that troubled historians and philosophers. Anyway, yes, footnotes in eighteeth-century fiction are very interesting and (I would argue) in dialogue with the work of historians, etc.* Aurora Wolfgang makes a similar argument about footnotes in Graffigny's "Lettres d'une Peruvienne" (1747).<br /><br />As a side note, now that I've finished the thesis, maybe I can go back and finish the behemoth that is "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell."**<br /><br /><br />*I love the mullet metaphor! Business in the text, party in the footnotes!<br />**Neil Gaimen has a great essay on Susanna Clarke.<br />Good Enough Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531793545583712309noreply@blogger.com
