Acknowledgements

This is the îrst work I have written without Pat. This was a difîcult task, made a little easier by help and assistance from a range of people. In no particular order, I would like to thank Catherine Phelps, for her detailed criticism of the manuscript; Sarah Lewis of University of Wales Press, for her guidance; Hannah Perlin, Heather Parnell, Tim Jones, Diana Wallace and Ali Wardak for their advice on particular points; Miss Rutherly Stanshore and the Invisible Brethren (and sistren) for support and encour-agement; Roz and Tim, as ever.
