Chuck Zerby
Footnotes have experienced a complex history, rising to prominence in 18th and 19th-century literature and scholarship, only to face belittlement in the 20th century. In this work, Chuck Zerby playfully delves into the long and notable journey of footnotes. He makes a strong case for their preservation against the backdrop of the internet and hypertext. The book uncovers surprising aspects of footnote usage, from academic rigor to unconventional applications.
