1. Intro
So. This is the sort of incomplete document that has to be a living document, because I see no real end to the updates and definitely none in the next three months. Many of these are things I haven't read, or have only given cursory treatment, or received filtered readings of in class. They're from reading assignments, offhand noted recommendations, retrofitted memories of various excerpts, etc. They are by no means complete.
