of new Reviews, Essays, Comments;
listed by Date
At Troynovant we are more interested in excellent or distinctive work than the merely timely or fashionable. Quality is always in season, and often more topical and entertaining than currency or fashion admit. Thus, we aim to refer and amuse, rather than to announce and forget. We avoid spoiling surprises in reviews that recommend; other works take their chances.
The latest several months' additions are listed here. You may need to reload / refresh this page in your browser to see the latest entries.

[France. The King's palace.]
King of France:
If she be
All that is virtuous, save what thou dislik'st —
'A poor physician's daughter' — thou dislik'st
Of virtue for the name. But do not do so.
From lowest place when virtuous things proceed,
The place is dignified by th' doer's deed.
Where great additions swell's, and virtue none,
It is a dropsied honor.William Shakespeare
All's Well That Ends Well, 2.3.117-124
This is JMF's idea.
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.
