Liz would particularly like to thank our editor, Jonathan Skerrett, for his patience and encouragement, and Helen Gray for her thorough and elegant copy-editing. We would both like to thank Shaun Le Boutillier for allowing his work from the second edition to appear here; the anonymous readers whose comments were particularly helpful in shaping this edition of the book; our colleagues at Anglia Ruskin University, particularly Daniel Smith and James Rosbrook-Thompson, and our students, past and present, for giving us the chance to discuss and develop our ideas with them. Thanks also to Jan Haynes and Helen Grantham for helping prepare early drafts, and also to Cammie Townsend for reading through later drafts. Liz would like to thank Jane McCann, Clare Bacchus, Jamie Le Boutillier and her parents, for their respective but not mutually exclusive supplies of wisdom, friendship, bad jokes, chocolate and a modicum of affection.
