Acknowledgments
I am immensely grateful to Colin Cremin. Never overbearing, always critically engaged and pushing me when I needed to be pushed.

I am deeply indebted to Chamsy el-Ojeili for his advice, insights and ongoing intellectual support and friendship. I am thankful to Erin Taylor and Mark Derby for proofreading and editing earlier drafts of this project (and for being such fine communards), and to Benjamin H.
