Acknowledgments
I thank Louis and Ronnie Lind for many kindnesses and Harvey and Esther Nathanson for interest and support. They and other members of the Oakland Philosophical Society provided a milieu important to the completion of this work. I am grateful to Stephanie Hughes, the Shakespeare Oxford Society, and its members for being receptive to new ideas. Throughout, Michael Gainer has been a constant source of help and encouragement, and I am much indebted to him for his experimental test of present theory and for contributing a Foreword to this monograph. Peter Andersen has kindly shared his thoughts and translated his research. Sylvia Sachs, Lester Berkovitz, and the Osher Academy of Lifelong Learning of the Carnegie Mellon University have graciously given me opportunities to present portions of this material in a classroom setting. I am grateful also to Madalon Amenta for her unflagging interest in this research and to Carl Croushore for his help. Others who have kindly lent assistance through the course of these studies include Gary Goldstein, Nina Green, Steven May, Allan Mills,
