Preface

As an undergraduate mostly-history-major, I read. A lot. Nearly half-way through my second semester here in New Haven, here's what I've learned:

• Primary sources universally outstrip secondary sources in violence, sexuality, and general badassery
• The older the source, the greater its frankness and vulgarity
• Truth is stranger, funnier, raunchier, gloomier, fiercer, and deeper than fiction
  

With this blog, I strive to preach the gospel of these three simple truths.

Ad lucem et veritatem.
