I wish to thank Rachel Trickett, with whom I began this study. Elizabeth Mackenzie and Kathleen Lea helped me at various stages. Later I profited by the valuable suggestions of Karina Williamson and James Gray. I owe a particular debt to Jean Hagstrum who has been a source of both inspiration and sustenance. Nissim Ezekiel gave me his time, encouragement and advice.
Without the unstinting support of Donald Meltzer and Martha Harris this book could never have been written. Tapan and Hashi Raychaudhuri stood by me during a difficult period. My friends Meg and Adrian Williams have been with me all along the way.
