Preface
This volume originates in a workshop that took place in June 2013, and a conference that took place a year later. We would like to express our gratitude to the John Fell Fund for making these events possible, and to Jesus College, Oxford for providing an atmosphere congenial to discussion. The spirit of lively debate and co-operative engagement that pervaded those meetings has carried through the process of preparing the volume for publication, and we are very grateful to the contributors for their patience and efficiency. Georgina Leighton and Charlotte Loveridge steered the volume through the press with attentiveness and skill, and the final product was considerably improved by the editorial interventions of Tim Beck and Albert Stewart. Numerous other scholarly conversations have informed the volume, but we are particularly indebted to Emily Dreyfus and Pauline LeVen for their comments on the introduction, and to the readers of the press for their suggestions about the shape and substance of the book as a whole.
