But I'll enjoy reading the series and the comments.<br /><br />I'll note, though, that I had some of Bardiac's sense of how subtly but interestingly different the footnote is in literary scholarship; it's something I had never noticed or thought about before even though I read a lot of historiography. We, too, write footnotes as a credentialing mechanism, to show off our erudition, assert our insider status, and the like, but because our arguments are usually based in relatively accessible primary texts there isn't the same laconic obscurity that comes with citing a document or folder, without further specification (and from an archive that may be a $1,500 plane flight away anyway).<br /><br />It's certainly true that things can be obscured in footnotes, but in most articles I can chase down every last item in someone's footnotes if I want to, because what they're citing are other works of scholarship (whether literary or otherwise).

This book is well-timed for me, as I'm in copy edits for my first book (and I've just found out the press intends to use endnotes instead of footnotes; I'm fighting--wish me luck) so I'm thinking about what I meant to do in my notes and how I meant to do it. As a young scholar, I was trained to look to the footnotes--that they were where the *real* argument was to be found (and I even did that, inadvertently, in my first published article) and that a page without copious notes was a worthless page of text. It's hard to train oneself out of that kind of early education, even as I know that Grafton is right that in many ways we use the notes to show what "what a big grown-up historian I am!" <br /><br />At the same time, I take a real but prurient interest in his anecdotes about scholars bashing each other in their notes...and think too, that this is a great purpose for notes to serve. It can be where we insert ourselves as people in our scholarly work--for good or for ill. If we are meant to disavow "objectivity" perhaps the notes are the place to do it?<br /><br />(That said, I tried to be really nice to everyone in my book's notes, and not too discursive. It's my *first* book - I'll be more effusive once I'm established!!)Sarah Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06419828131574899643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648409483330236099.post-40552869639745649442016-10-05T19:39:16.546-07:002016-10-05T19:39:16.546-07:00I'm crazy busy these days, now that I'm ch...I'm crazy busy these days, now that I'm chair, but I'm enjoying participating passively in this discussion.

So once a book is out, you've got about 5 years before its notes are obsolete. And with the problems in staffing archives, you may have one or two people who actually know how to decode notes from three citation systems ago.Notorious Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08700875559325201086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648409483330236099.post-75238252829229673602016-10-04T14:17:23.307-07:002016-10-04T14:17:23.307-07:00Claiming connection AND assuring the reader that I...Claiming connection AND assuring the reader that I've actually done this research. In my stuff, I found that other scholars would simply refer to a document by noting a specific date and volume of correspondence. My footnotes thus became my attempt to get more specific, since date/volume narrowed it down to perhaps a dozen documents. Archivists also made things more interesting by filing documents in odd places: a letter that had five or six topics might end up in a file on one of those topics but NOT in any of the others. And no cross referencing. As far as I could tell, no other scholars in 'my' archives used the internal reference numbers provided. So finding a specific item from somebody else's note was an exercise in futility. <br /><br />Fascinating book!<br />Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907124613349006456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648409483330236099.post-43580385992500280332016-10-03T13:12:23.249-07:002016-10-03T13:12:23.249-07:00I think Grafton talks about this -- the footnote, ...I think Grafton talks about this -- the footnote, like the introduction, as a sort of aspirational network-builder.
