Captions available

The idea

Decision D6 requires interpretations to be attributed, and a period characterisation is an interpretation. Quoting what writers said about their own aims reduces how much of that this unit has to do, which is why both documents were worked directly.

In practice

Quote the aims, not the summary.

Where people slip

Decision D6, applied to periods.
