All anthologies are collaborative enterprises, including this one. All contributors have worked diligently to make this project viable, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with such erudite scholars. My deep thanks go to my family, friends and colleagues for supporting my work on this volume. I would like to say a special thank you to Michael D. Berry for his assistance in formatting the manuscript and to John Nuttall and Stelios Gkouskos for their comments on my co-authored chapters. Thank you to my students, my clients and supervisees who are always important sources of inspiration. Finally, I would like to extend my thanks to Darren Reed (Senior Commissioning Editor), Karen Shield (Senior Project Editor), Olivia Evans (Editorial Assistant), and the rest of the publishing team for seeing the manuscript through to publication.
