Modus Operandi
This site is dedicated to exploring all aspects of history and all aspects of literature. It’s a fairly new site – established July 2011. The goal is to create, over time, a website that is dedicated to, you guessed it, history and literature. The targeted end result will be a site that covers the outline of history and literature in broad strokes with occasional detailed information, all of which must be easily searchable and usable for readers. The site follows the interests and explorations of its author, Brad Penney. It the subject matter above sparks your interest, please follow the journey of learning we’ve embarked on either through Twitter, our Facebook Fan Page, or our RSS feed. Enjoy!
