CONTENTS

ILLUSTRATIONS

THE FIRST VOLUME of her Collected Essays was the last work prepared by Dame Frances Yates. She had planned two further volumes, though she left no definitive lists of what they were to contain. The final choice of materials for this volume (and for volume III, which we hope will follow shortly), as well as the sub-title for each volume is, therefore, ours. We acknowledge responsibility for this and for the titles which have been added to some reviews. Titles of reviews which first appeared in the New York Review of Books and the Times Literary Supplement were added by the sub-editors of those journals.

A few omissions may need explanation. The essay on John Florio at the French Embassy (1929), important though it is in the history of Dame Frances's work, is omitted because of its author's insistence (in the autobiographical fragments to be published in volume III) that it should not be reprinted, since what she considered useful in it was contained in her book John Florio (1934, reprinted 1968). The same principle of exclusion has been followed in other instances. A full list of the writings of Frances Yates will appear in volume III of the Collected Essays.

Dame Frances's working library has been incorporated in the Library of the Warburg Institute. Her notes, drafts, typescripts, proofs, unpublished lectures and the like are also preserved at the Institute.

The Editors of this volume are indebted for assistance of various kinds to Angela Barlow, Jill Kraye, Anne Marie Meyer and, especially, to D. P. Walker, whose advice on the selection of articles to be reprinted was invaluable, and who has written the Preface to the volume. The index was made and the proofs read by Judith Wardman. The staff of the Photographic Collection at the Warburg Institute gave valuable help.

The Editors of the following publications have generously given permission to reprint essays and reviews which first appeared in their pages: Edinburgh University Journal, Italian Studies, Journal of Theological Studies, Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes, New York Review of Books, Renaissance Quarterly, Revue internationale de philosophie, Times Literary Supplement. Messrs Collier-Macmillan and the Manchester University Press have given similar permission to reprint essays from their publications.

The paintings on Plates 8b and 9c are reproduced by gracious permission of Her Majesty the Queen. Thanks are also due to the following for permission to illustrate objects in their ownership or charge: the Ashmolean Museum and the Bodleian Library, Oxford; Ordrupgaardsamlingen, Charlottenlund; Lord Sackville, Knole; the Trustees of the British Museum; the University of London; the City Art Gallery, Manchester; the Muse du Louvre and the Muse Rodin, Paris. In one case we have failed to trace the present owner of a work, and ask that this admission serve as an acknowledgment.
