Acknowledgements. Writing this book has been a prolonged act of vagrancy, as I have dragged my unsightly luggage chain of tatty boxes and files from place to place. For their kindness in taking me in, together with this caravan of archival loot, and offering me the chance to work undisturbed, I wish to thank Elizabeth Cartwright-Hignett, Frank Dabell, Nick Hewer, Eartha Kitt, Hermione Labron-Johnson, and Claudia and Marcello Salom. To Ann Pasternak Slater and Craig Raine, I owe special gratitude for their constant support and solid faith. Through them, I met Ben Sonnenberg in New York, and for that flourishing and (on Ben's part) erudite friendship, I am indebted. Ann Pasternak Slater also helped ease my passage by writing a letter of recommendation which, but for her own generous embellishments, followed my draft with uncanny precision. Carmen Callil's support was acquired late into the writing of this book, but counts as a powerful source of inspiration on account of its sheer and unqualified confidence at a time when I had all but lost my own. ...
