Text:
Only when we gather the work of several scholars—Walter Sutton's explication of some of Whitman's shorter poems; Paul Fussell's careful study of structure in "Cradle", S. K. Coffman's close readings of "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry" and "Passage to India"—do we begin to get a sense of both the extent and the specificity of Whitman's forms.1

Endnote:
1. Sutton, "The Analysis of Free Verse Form, Illustrated by a Reading of Whitman," Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism 18 (December 1959): 241–54; Fussell, "Whitman's Curious Warble: Reminiscence and Reconciliation," in The Presence of Whitman, ed. R W. B. Lewis, 28–51; Coffman, " 'Crossing Brooklyn Ferry': Note on the Catalog Technique in Whitman's Poetry," Modern Philology 51 (May 1954): 225–32; Coffman, "Form and Meaning in Whitman's 'Passage in India,' " PMLA 70 (June 1955): 337–49.
"Ibid." "Ibid." refers to the unshortened reference immediately preceding it. "Ibid." only replaces the unchanged parts of a reference. For example, if the author repeats a reference but cites a quotation on a different page, then only the new page numbers appear after "Ibid."
Example:
5. Farmwinkle, Humor of the Midwest, 241.
6. Ibid., 258–59.
7. Ibid.
8. Ibid., 333–34.
9. Losh, Diaries and Correspondence, 1:150.
10. Ibid., 2:35–36.
11. Ibid., 2:37–40.
"Idem." When several works by the same author are cited successively, "Idem." may be used in place of the author's name.
Example:
1. Samuel A. Morley, Poverty and Inequality in Latin America: The Impact of Adjustment and Recovery (Baltimore: John Hopkins University Press, 1995), 24-25.
