The references and notes in this article seem funny to me--as a reader, I wanted to see where this sentence came from: "The misogyny and other forms of hatred perceived in the text are as attributable to what readers across the centuries have brought to the reading as to what Juvenal intended." It's not footnoted, but it looks like it might be something attributable to Stanley Fish.

At this point I got curious and clicked the next footnote, number 8, which gave a statement rather than an attribution. Really weird. The carat (sp?) at the beginning just jumped me to the list of the "references", which were books in alphabetical order rather than sources for the specific statements. Any ideas? Please note, I'm not a regular editor so there may be good reasons for all of these things, in which case please slap me down!  :)
