Fyall, gave me a copy of The Guinness Book of Names. Little did he know that he was initiating a thirty-year project. Since then I have accumulated debts to colleagues, friends, and students in North America and Britain; my acknowledgements here are poor recompense for all the time that they have spent and the knowledge they have shared.  \nColleagues in literary theory and Renaissance humanism stimulated and helped with language theory and history. I am grateful to Marlene Briggs, Dympna Callaghan, Don Childs, A. E. B. Coldiron, Anthony Dawson, Stefan Hollstein, Ben Morgan, and Neil Rhodes. Conversations with Gwen Guth extended my coverage of Canadian novels and poems; Gwen was also unfailingly generous in her response to queries and pleas for help. Diana Brydon and Irena Makaryk’s seminar on Canadian Shakespeare at the Shakespeare Association of America provided helpful feedback on Chapter 2. My research on Helen of Troy was roadtested in lectures and papers in Oxford, Cambridge, New Orleans, Columbus, Stratford, Bristol, and Geneva. The audiences on all these occasions provided valuable responses: I am grateful in particular to Stephen Orgel, Randall Nakayama, Kay Stanton, Robert Logan, Catherine Richardson, Jim Shaw, Tiffany Stern, Lukas Erne, Chris Cannon, and Ewan Fernie. For discussions about anonymity in Chapter 4 I am grateful to my colleagues Ben Morgan and Emma Smith.  \nviii Acknowledgements  \nAt Magdalen College I have been singularly fortunate in my colleague Robert Douglas-Fairhurst. Robert repeatedly, voluntarily, shouldered more than his share of administrative and pedagogical duties to enable me to complete work on this project. He also asked timely questions, located references, and was an endless source of intellectual stimulus (as well as supplier of comestible stimulants) .
