Normally, I agree. I'm also old school, but in the convos I've seen in various threads concerning footnotes it seems the prevailing attitude is that they're elective to an extent when it interferes with the flow of the work. In this case, with the footnote being almost as long as the poem itself I have to agree with moving it or leaving it out.GregGiordano wrote: ↑October 3rd, 2018, 4:06 pm
In re Section 71 - I have no argument regarding the placement of the footnote. I agree it does break up the flow of the poem. I guess I am old school in that you read the footnote where the author placed it, but it does detract from the work itself. I hesitate to remove it totally since the author obviously had a reason to include it. I will move it to the end and see how that sounds.
Thanks!
