    Acknowledgements

    The help and encouragement of many people have made this conference possible. We would like to

    thank the Standing Committee of the International Milton Symposium for support and advice

    throughout the planning of the conference. Special thanks are due to Thomas Corns and Gordon

    Campbell for their willingness to answer a constant stream of questions, and to Gordon for his expert

    negotiations over the concert programme of the Tallis Scholars.

    To John Leonard, for help behind the scenes, we offer particularly warm thanks.

    We acknowledge with gratitude the sponsorship provided by the Milton Society of America and

    Gazelle Press, Milton Studies, Milton Quarterly, and Oxford University Press.

    We would like to thank our colleagues in the English Department of Exeter University for help at

    crucial junctures, especially Edward Paleit and Henry Power, Chloe Preedy, Johanna Harris, Felicity

    Henderson, Margaret Yoon, Pascale Aebischer, Briony Frost, Jo Gill, and Andrew McRae.

    Thanks, too, to Sandi Smith and Andrew Thorpe in the College of Humanities, Exeter University, for

    their assistance in getting the conference planning off the ground, and to Naome Glanville for her

    invaluable help with publicity for the Tallis Scholars concert.

    For all aspects of design, including the programme and programme cover, the badges, the posters

    for the conference and for the Tallis Scholars concert, we are warmly grateful to Richard Carter, who

    donated his talent and time to us with the most exceptional generosity.

    We find it difficult to imagine how we could have managed without the help of our student interns,

    Holly Lamb and Christina Ryan, who handled a range of tasks too numerous and varied to list within

    the limits of this page.

    Finally, it is not an exaggeration to say that without Philippa Earle and Mandy Bedford, this

    conference would not have been possible at all. To them goes our heartfelt gratitude for their

    unstinting hard work, organizational brilliance, and capacity for laughter. It has been a privilege to

    work with them.

    Karen Edwards and Philip Schwyzer
