ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSThis book, which began life as an Oxford doctoral thesis, has beenalmost as long and slow in the making as one of Isocrates' own compositions,though unfortunately it cannot claim the correspondinglevel of polish. I have incurred debts of gratitude well beyond whatsuch a slim volume can repay, and can only hope that alongside theimperfections for which I am responsible, it bears the marks hereand there of the kindness and wisdom of those others who havehelped its progress.My doctoral supervisor, Dr Doreen Innes, was unfailingly patientand generous of her time, while setting a hard example of scholarlycare, sensitivity and breadth of vision. The motivation to research,and in particular to explore areas which old demarcations betweenliterature and philosophy had left neglected, came from my tutor,Dr Richard Rutherford; without his friendship and faith in my work,neither the thesis nor the book could ever have been completed.The thesis was read in part by Dr Lucinda Coventry, Dr LindsayJudson, Dr Robert Parker and Dr Stephanie West, and in its entiretyby Elizabeth Clements, Dr Eleanor Dickey and Dr Jane Stuart-Smith,and in every case greatly improved as a result of their comments. Iam also greatly indebted to my examiners, Prof. Stephen Halliwelland Prof. Donald Russell, for innumerable constructive commentsand suggestions.The writing of the book was made possible financially by my parents'support, and by employment successively at Christ Church,Brasenose College, the University of St Andrews, Wadham College,New College and the University of Birmingham. My morale andenthusiasm has been sustained by my parents, Trudy <strong>Livingstone</strong>and Prof. Donald <strong>Livingstone</strong>; by my partner Elizabeth Clements;by my friends, especially Sarah Colvin and Jane Stuart-Smith; andby all the students with whom I have had the good fortune to sharein study of the ancient Greek world. I am especially grateful to bothstudents and colleagues in the Department of Classics at the Universityof Birmingham, whose imagination, energy and love of the subjecthave formed an ideal academic environment in which to finish thiswork.
VlllACKNOWLEDGMENTSFinally I would like to thank Dr Malcolm Campbell, who recommendedthe book for the Mnemosyne Supplement series, for his warmencouragement; the publisher's reader, Prof. Dirk Schenkeveld, whosegood advice led to the cutting of much unnecessary material; andlast but not least the publishing team at Brill. Job Lisman took thebook on; Michiel Klein Swormink kept it alive; and Loes Schouten,with great patience, commitment and good humour, brought it tocompletion.
