You have to read a specialist article to discover this!!! I was teaching that material (parentetically as widely known) to my undergraduate classes in literature 30 years ago. It would never have occurred to me that it was any big news or needed a source. One would not quote a source for the news that the Washington Monument was in Washington, D.C. Geez, I though everyone had read *Pride and Prejudice*.
