This book would not have been possible without the creative spirit and help of many people. I would like to thank all contributors, and was really impressed by the imaginative and often visionary ways in which they engaged the themes of this volume. I also thank the anonymous reviewers for their helpful and constructive suggestions. Particular thanks go to Louise Butler and Jennifer Schmidt, my editors at Bloomsbury, for seeing this book through to final publication. I also thank Magnus Godvik Ekeland for compiling the index.

I am extremely grateful to all the institutions and individuals who have helped me with my research and made visual and written materials available, often waiving or reducing fees for copyright permission.
