We unexpectedly lost our beloved colleague, Steve Watson, on January 22, 2016, as this volume was nearing delivery to Springer. Those familiar with Steve’s instinctive feel for the heritage field will need little help imagining his immense contribution to the volume. He was instrumental for this project not only in terms of the guiding role he played in its intellectual formation but also for his enthusiasm, collegiality, and endless good grace. We are privileged to be in the position to include here one of the last essays Steve penned, which will serve alongside his already impressive collection of writings as a lasting testimony to his rare and impressive intellect.
Steve in Whitby, England (August 7, 2015) With the greatest affection and respect, we dedicate this volume to Steve. Emma and Helaine
