General Contents at Troynovant
Herein we propose and advance a cultural stratigraphy, exploring and delineating a few layers and textures of the human mind which we visualize as Troynovant: the city of nobly recurring knowledge.
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.
The proverb says that Stadtluft macht frei, or city air makes one free; but we add: determinedly breathing free air maintains our continuing city of recurrent inspiration.
Whom the gods would inform they first teach to read.
Robert Wilfred Franson, editor
