Memoirs at Troynovant:
firsthand reminiscences,
that is, Personal History, personally told;
listed by Title Essayer's instruments

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; while a brief nod or counterpoint to a notable article or curiosity is a comment; a folly mines a vein of humor, or if more pointed a satire; a memoir is a firsthand reminiscence; a compilation gathers illuminating quotations; otherwise generally an essay.

Look homeward, horseman: reflect and be glad.

Look what thy memory cannot contain
Commit to these waste blanks, and thou shalt find
Those children nursed, delivered from thy brain,
To take a new acquaintance of thy mind.

William Shakespeare
Sonnets, 77
