Acknowledgments
The editors would like to thank Donald Lateiner, first and foremost, for his
inspiring scholarship and generous friendship. We would also like to thank
the contributors for their excellent essays and unstinting support of this vol-
ume. Finally, the anonymous referees commissioned by the University of
Michigan Press and the editorial staff of the University of Michigan Press,
especially Ellen Bauerle, Alexa Ducsay, Susan Cronin, and Mary Hashman
have been most helpful; together they have improved the volume and guided
it through to publication.
