Essays at Troynovant:
mining the prismatic
veins of Knowledge;
listed by Title, A-L

About our overlayered structure for this Troy-town maze of cultural stratigraphy — at Troynovant an entry is a review of book or story, of film or reel or soundie, if largely about a particular title; a glance or counterpoint to an article or curiosity is an illuminant; a folly mines a vein of humor, or if more pointed a satire; a memoir is a firsthand reminiscence; a postcard showcases a flat-carded Scene of Passage; a compilation gathers quotations stoking Trains of Thought; otherwise generally an essay.

[King Lear's palace at Troynovant.]

Gloucester:

Give me the letter, sir.

Edmund:

I shall offend, either to detain or give it. The contents, as in part I understand them, are to blame.

Gloucester:

Let's see, let's see.

Edmund:

I hope, for my brother's justification, he wrote this but as an essay or taste of my virtue.

William Shakespeare
King Lear, 1.2.39-44
