I am especially grateful to my advisors, Werner Ha- macherand RainerNa¨gele.PeterFenves,NeilHertz,andDavidWellbery all offered valuable advice at important stages. Completion of the project was aided by the Dean’s Office at Reed College and by a Mellon Post- DoctoralFellowshipattheUniversityofPennsylvania,whereSimonRich- ter, Wendy Steiner, and Liliane Weissberg helped create a lively, collegial atmosphere. Many friends, teachers, and colleagues have been involved in this re- searchin waysthat theymay recognize farbetter than I.Special thanks go to Roger Blood, David Ferris, U¨lker Go¨kberk, Patrick Greaney, Kate Jen- ckes, and Thomas Pepper.
