An Independent Scholar's Files

“Where ever did you get that idea?”  Whereas once I could reply only by citing hard-to-find articles, now I can usually provide them.  On this non-commercial site (launched 01.17.04) I share the scholarship that has indebted me and the essays in which I try to pay that debt forward. Please feel free to send questions, comments, and criticism here.
