A village of
interconnected stories.
Choose a year to follow the stories, explore family connections, or compare the original thematic counts. The retained dataset runs through 2016; its scope is broader than the original “first 20 years” title.
Follow the timeline.
The families
Every connection has a story.
Changing themes
Counts from the original project’s thematic dataset. Categories reflect that project’s editorial classification.
Reference notes & original examples
The original dataset and editorial classifications are retained. It contains 25 timeline events through 2016, four thematic periods and three family branches. These are the source project’s selections, not a complete independently checked history.
Explore the retained dataset.
Timeline
Open the timeline view and select a year. The event count describes the current selection. A failed load displays a retry action rather than an empty timeline.
Families
Open the families view, expand a family branch and choose a character to read their biography and related events. Escape closes the dialog and returns focus.
Thematic evolution
Open the themes view to compare the original event counts across four periods. Counts reflect the source author’s categories and are displayed as labeled bars with exact values.
