Introduction

In this episode, I had the wonderful opportunity to interview Jillian Hess, an English Professor and author of "How Romantics and Victorians Organized Information" published by Oxford University Press. She writes at Noted, a newsletter on Substack where she explores the fascinating history of notebooks and notetaking. What you will discover is that mnemonics and notetaking are very much related as they both deal with the art of organizing information.
