Acknowledgments
This book would not have been possible without the help of numerous people. First, my thanks to Amelia Derkatsch, Palgrave’s Commissioning Editor for Gender and Sexuality. From our early correspondence right through to the final submission of this book, she has offered unfaltering guidance and support. Special thanks also go to Mark McCormack, Liam Wignall, and M. F. Ogilvie for their great advice in the early development of this book. Similarly, I am also grateful to Pete Millward and Stacey Pope for their superb specialist feedback and recommendations during the proposal stage of the book. It is also worth noting that editing books often receives negative press in the academic world; the frequent need to chase authors for unsubmitted chapters, for example, is an experience that many scholars—and many of my friends—know only too well. However, my experience was far different; I had no need to chase, demand, or even offer any ultimatums! For this I am truly grateful to each of the contributors for their hard work in producing marvelous chapters.
