ContentsAcknowledgements vi A Note on Texts vii I would like to thank: Ewan Fernie and Robert Eaglestone, who helped me form some of the central ideas of this book; Roy Booth, who located a troublesome reference; Joanna Kershaw, who gave me some vital guidance on the religious debates of the medieval period; Brian Boyd, for his kind words and reading recommendations for evolutionary criticism; Andy Mousley, for his continued help and support; and Jackie Jones and Jenny Daly at Edinburgh University Press, for their enthusiasm for this book and organisation. Most importantly, my mentor, Kiernan Ryan, will have my eternal gratitude for being such an exacting, demanding and thoroughly excellent supervisor and editor. Without his invaluable advice, this book would not have been completed or taken its current shape. Finally, I would like to thank my parents for their continued love and support, and my wife, Ria, for her patience in enduring my endless attempts to explain Marxist theory to her.
