The editors are especially grateful to Dr Steven Brindle and to the second anonymous reader (from Spain) for their careful reviews of all the essays in this collection. We also thank Andrew Cummings, who carefully copyedited all the texts, as well as Alixe Bovey, Maria Mileeva and Grace Williams, who supported this e-book at different stages of its production.
