The bulk of the research for this project has been completed and writing has begun!

Notable Sources

Here’s a list of some selected sources from which research has been done on this project. This list is, of course, not exhaustive, but rather serves to identify some of the key source material that will be used in writing. It is my hope that this list – while subject to additions, retractions, and changes – will give the reader an idea of the material that will be covered in the project.
