Week 1 info

These references surfaced this week:

• Geneviève de Brabant on Wikipedia
• Philosophy of Henri Bergson 
• Merovingian Dynasty (way earlier than we were guessing)
  
• Oxford Merovingian page
• Wiki page 

Also, Nabokov's lectures on literature contains one on Proust... at this link, you can perhaps read much of it in the preview box
