Jean Howard, David Kastan, and Alan Stewart supervised a dissertation which contained early versions of some of the materials here. The three of them remain formative influences. Jean has been a model of commitment, control, and cheer—she taught me to attend to form and argument, both literary and scholarly, but also to attend plays. David’s thinking seemed to resonate with my vague ideas about books and writing with surprising and enabling force, but he would also send me out on a limb and then wait for me to realize why it was worth it. If Jean and David were doctoral parents of a whole generation at Columbia, Alan was like an older brother who makes all he is doing seem easy and cool: his attention and generosity opened up a realm of intellectual possibility, making me look for the people who did the reading and writing.  \nHamlet’s Moment was shaped by other teachers as well. Conal Condren encouraged at important moments, and demanded a conceptual clarity I wish I could muster. Péter Dávidházi’s essay about Polonius first alerted me to the play of power in Hamlet, but his advice has never been Polonius-like. Heather James listened and helped since a rainy afternoon in D.C., and unlike this book, our friendship will continue. Peter Lake made me understand what I was writing about, and taught me most ofwhat I know about early modern politics and its historians. Many of my ideas came from the work of Fritz Levy, who later also encouraged the formulation of others. Ivan Lupić commented carefully and selectively, and drove me around recklessly, and I expect him to keep doing both. I need to talk to Noah Millstone more often. There is much in this book I wish I had been able to show Dénes Némedi.
