Sources

The main sources behind each essay, in one place.

The essays give the finding and leave the citation out, so all 499 words go to the argument. The sources sit in a short list under each essay, and every list is gathered here, newest essay first. Authors, titles, years. No links to other websites: websites rot, titles last. Pick one up and read the source yourself.

The books the whole argument was built from have a shelf of their own on Reading.
