Many others made important contributions to one or more of the individual papers; acknowl- edgements of these contributions can be found in the papers themselves. Syracuse, Cornell and Rutgers Universities offered financial support for the preparation of this volume. Thanks are also due to Peter Momtchiloff and Rebecca Bryant of Oxford University Press for seeing the publication through from beginning to end, and to the other staff at OUP who played a role in its production along the way. All of the authors were enormously cooperative in meeting deadlines and responding to suggestions and queries, which made our editorial task much lighter.Authorswerealsograciousenoughtocirculateearlydraftsoftheiressays to other contributors, resulting in fruitful discussion and cross-references. Three graduate students played important roles in bringing the volume to fruition. Karson Kovakovich helped at the preliminary stages with both administrative and editorial work. John Wynne did an extraordinary job pre- paring an absolutely first-rate index. And Emily Esch saw the book through its finalmonths,providingoutstandingadviceandsupportateverystepoftheway.
