  • I am grateful to my colleagues Les McCrimmon, Joanna Bird and Joellen Riley, and to two anonymous reviewers, for their thoughtful comments on previous drafts of this article. I am much in debt to Professors Jeremy Webber and Mark Findlay who encouraged me to write up these teaching departures. Nothing however can measure the intellectual and personal generosity shown to me by Professor William Twining, from whom most of the best ideas in this piece derive. The mistakes are all my own. I also acknowledge the excellent research assistance of Sally Forbes and Jonathan Kirkwood.
