Acknowledgements

My first and greatest debt is to my parents, Daniel and Eileen Aherne: without their support the work required to produce this book would simply not have been possible; accordingly, it is dedicated to them. I would also like to thank my siblings, their partners and progeny: Jenny, Christopher, Simon, Patrick, Sara, Adam, Lucy, Sophia and James. Research can be a lonely business, and in that regard, I am grateful for the company of my friends, many of whom have patiently allowed me to bore on about a subject of no real interest to them for longer than courtesy required: James Lowe, Tom Russell, Tom Dods, Steven Taylor, Harry and Laura Hurrell, Christopher Lloyd, Melissa Oppenheim, Greg Lim, Rob Sinclair, James McGrady, Phillippe Roesle, Fariha Sheikh, Gerard Miles, Jon Cooper, Jack Boteler, Jake Rowley and Shiva-Shankar Mysore. Simon Jones and Darren McFarland were kind and generous hosts during many research trips to Oxford. The
