Acknowledgments
About the time the manuscript for this book was going to the publisher, I wrote to a friend commenting on a book he had just seen into print. He responded with a gracious letter in which he thanked me by saying it felt good to know he was not writing into a void. It pleased him to find that he had a Mitstreiter, a Weggefährter, a Mitdenker. It is an appealing way of thinking about the friends, scholars, and other lively minds who accompany the writing of a project like this one. In the same spirit I would like to thank my own Mitstreiter. Some were willing partners, and a few others were accomplices who shaped my thinking without directly addressing modernism. Either way they have seconded me along the pathways of composing this book: Sham Anand, John Burt, the late Jane Curran, Donatella Di Cesare, Amir Eshel, Abby Gillman, Joe Lawrence, Jim McFarland, Sabine von Mering, Tara Metal, Robin Feuer Miller, Silvia Monteleone, Vonda Nichols, Evan Parks, Thom Quinn, the late Bob Szulkin, Harleen Singh, Avinash Singh, and Charles Stratford.
