Thisbookhastakenitstime:Ineededtimetogetmyheadaroundthetopic,
time to discover its core, and time to come up with a language to describe
whatIfoundthere.Andasmonthsofillnesshaveturnedintoyears,timehas
becomeeverthemoreprecious.
ThatIhadthistime isthanks tothe generosityofsomeverysupportive
institutions. I first developed the project through a British Academy
Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Bristol and completed it in
the course of an Australian Research Council DECRA. Betweentimes
I enjoyed the collegial hospitality of a semester at the Center for Hellenic
StudiesinDC,andanotherasSpinozaFellowattheUniversityofLeiden.
This book has been enriched through conversations with Emma Aston,
Elton Barker, Erica Bexley, Richard Buxton, Cathy Conners, Peter Davies,

Taylor, AriToumpas, Jackie Whalen,and IoannisZiogas. Hans Beck,Dan
Berman, Jody Cundy, Charles Delattre, and Katherine Lu Hsu also kindly
shared unpublished work with me. Many ideas in this book have seen the
lightatseminarsandconferencesovertheyears.Iamespeciallygratefulto
Richard Hunter and Anna Uhlig who, by inviting me to speak at the
Laurence Seminar in 2014 and insisting that there was something to be
said about Pausanias and reperformance, inadvertently sent the whole
projectoffinanewdirection.
I have been fortunate to have been able to employ the most fabulous of
RAs:GlenGoodwin,EricaLau,JohnNash,EllePlatt,andRosieSelthmight
see some of their edits and spreadsheeted data peeking out in these pages.
