Desert waterhole, evaporation strata Strata at Troynovant:
an alternate, Topical Contents via StrataLinking,
some slices or view-lines across the Troad

These strata at Troynovant are not entrenchments, nor concreted Platonic forms with sharp edges. The named topics are alternate streets through Troy-town, uncovered ways of perception. We delve into a cross-sectional site map of many-layered Troy of historical imagination — including its environs, the Troad; with its prospects, Troynovant. In relational-database terminology, our StrataLinks are alternate views of the geographical structure. Angled stratagems if you like, to coax ourselves to think about and enjoy other reflections and combinations of our refractory material.

Alack, alack, that heaven should practice stratagems
Upon so soft a subject as myself!

William Shakespeare

About our structure for this Troy-town maze of cultural stratigraphy — at Troynovant a piece is a book review or story review, a film review or reel review, if largely about a particular title; while a nod or counter-blast or harrumph or chuckle in reaction to a notable article or other published curiosity is a comment; a memoir is a firsthand reminiscence; a compilation gathers illuminating quotations; otherwise generally an essay.
