The Centre stimulates interdisciplinary research collaboration throughout these subject areas and provides an Oxford base for advanced researchers in the humanities.

The Centres publishing programme focuses on making available the results of advanced research in medieval and modern languages and related interdisciplinary areas. An Editorial Board, whose members are drawn from across the British university system, covers the principal European languages. Titles currently include works on Arabic, Catalan, Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Greek and Yiddish literature. In addition, the EHRC co-publishes with the Society for French Studies, the Modern Humanities Research Association and the British Comparative Literature Association.

Guide

This book started out as a doctoral thesis submitted at the University of Cambridge, so my first debt of gratitude is to my supervisors: Dr Maria Manuel Lisboa, perennial source of advice and support, and Professor Paul Julian Smith, who provided invaluable comment and insight. I would like to thank Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, for a research fellowship which enabled me to revise this work and see it through to publication. I am grateful to Silviano Santiago for the many profitable discussions we have had on both sides of the Atlantic; to Professor Bernard McGuirk and Professor Chris Perriam for their help and encouragement; to Professor George Ydice for kindly allowing me to quote from unpublished essays; and to Professor Ritchie Robertson at Legenda for generously devoting time to help me give the book its final form. I also appreciate the cooperation and patience shown to me by David Trilling at the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation.

I am grateful for permission to quote from the following material:
