In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

vii I have the great good fortune to have friends like John Evans, Eamon Grennan, Vincent Hurley, Máire Kennedy, Tim Meagher, Denis Sampson and Terry Winch. Many grateful thanks to them for all their hospitality, encouragement, help and support over the years. Terry’s input early on was just what I needed. And special thanks to Denis, who made a timely intervention at a dark hour. To my family – Pam, Ben and Nick – love and thanks, as ever. Jonathan Williams was invaluable; many thanks to him. Thanks, too, to Donna Even-Kesef, Office Manager of the Department of English, Georgetown University, for answering my dumbest questions with cheerful good grace. Finally, a warm word of thanks to all at Cork University Press with whom it was a pleasure to work and whose caring editorial attention and high production values have done so much to enhance the original typescript. I am also indebted to everyone at the Joseph Mark Lauinger Memorial Library at Georgetown University, particularly Jill Hollingsworth , Jeff Popovich and the Interlibrary Loan staff, who were unfailingly helpful and obliging.
