Acknowledgments
The editors would like to take this opportunity to express their gratitude for the generous support and funding provided by Ambassador François Barras of the Consulate General of Switzerland in New York, and also by President William Kelly of the Graduate Center, CUNY, which made possible the conference for which most of the essays in this volume were initially prepared. We would also like to acknowledge the assistance of Gregory Zucker, who helped us launch this project. Finally, we would like to thank the editorial team at Cambridge University Press.
