Elizabeth Sinn was at the outset a good deal more excited by the idea of this book than I was and did much to overcome my initial misgivings. Beyond this, she read through multiple versions of several of the chapters, pointing out ambiguities and infelicities in the writing, lapses in documentation, and places where the analysis was in clear need of sharpening. Knowing the author well, including his very considerable capacity for defensiveness, Elizabeth navigated with practiced adroitness the treacherous border area between criticism and encouragement, for which I thank her with warm affection.Elizabeth Perry, who had recently compiled a book of her own writings, shared her experience concerning the nature of the process. John Ziemer drew on his years of work in publishing to guide me through the thickets of copyright practice, indicating when permission was required and when it was not. Lisa Cohen prepared most of the photographs and all of the digitized images for the book’s illustrations. Craig Fowlie of Routledge responded promptly to my periodic queries and graciously offered the services of his office in applying for reprint permissions. My thanks to all of these individuals for their generous help.The author and publisher would like to thank the following for granting permission to reproduce material in this work:
