Acknowledgments
I am greatly indebted to former colleagues, to friends and family, to all who read early drafts and/or made useful suggestions and criticisms: Hubert Babinski, John Demos, Elspeth Dusinberre, Clint Elliott, Joan Ferrante, Robert Folkenflik, Susan Lloyd, James McIntosh, Janet McIntosh, Marjorie McIntosh, Katy Payne, Roger Payne, Judith Plotz, Jules Rabin, Karen Romer, Jonathan Steinberg, Howard Weinbrot, and anonymous reviewers for Brill, Cambridge, and Bucknell University Presses. Essential help came from the Columbia University libraries and the OED.
