Foreword
Andy and Charles first thought up the idea of producing this book some years ago over a few pints
of Sam Smith’s Nut Brown Ale in the Three Goats Heads in Oxford (a rich multisensory experi-
ence if ever there was one). After starting on a book proposal they quickly realised that the project
would not be possible without David’s help. Throughout the process of putting this volume
together we have been very lucky to have been able to attract such a fantastic and willing set of
contributors. We are very proud of the addition that this book will make to the literature and we
have the many authors who have contributed to thank for that. We would also like to acknowl-
edge the support that we have received from Martin Baum and Charlotte Green at OUP, and
also colleagues at Goldsmiths, Oxford, and Florida Atlantic. Fran Knight, JJ Begum, Madeleine
Miller-Bottome, Conor Glover, and Jenn Hiester bear particular mention. Nut Brown Ales all
around!
