Bibliography
Notes
- ↑ Most from Lennon (2008a, pp. 518–519).
- ↑ This date is often listed as 1957 or 1958 (e.g. Adams (1974, p. 1) and Lennon (1986, p. 219) list 1957), but as Lennon & Lennon (2018, p. 29) explain, the City Lights publication is followed by the 1958 "Reflections on Hipsterism", so earlier than 1959 is unlikely.
- ↑ Abbreviated SF in Adams (1974, p. 4, passim).
- ↑ According to Lennon (2008a), sometimes abbreviated as WVN.
- ↑ According to Lennon (2008a), sometimes abbreviated as TOT.
