TO DIMITRI GONDICAS
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I am deeply grateful to Phil Nord for allowing me to spend two years at Princeton, where I have been blessed with an extraordinary group of friends and colleagues. My thanks in particular for their comments, advice, guidance and criticism in connection with this project to: Peter Brown, Marwa Elshakry, Laura Engelstein, Bill Jordan, Tia Kolbaba, Liz Lunbeck, Arno Mayer, Ken Mills and Gyan Prakash. Molly Greene and Heath Lowry patiently introduced me to Ottoman realities; Polymeris Voglis and Dimitris Livanios made many valuable suggestions and criticisms. In London, Peter Mandler gave me advice and assistance. Johanna Weber offered huge encouragement, and challenged my prose line by line: my debt to her is beyond words. My thanks too to Nicholas Dirks and Tony Molho for opportunities to try out portions of my argument at Columbia and Brown Universities, and to Fergus Bremner for his refreshing and nourishing ideas. I am indebted to the British Academy and the Leverholme Trust for their generous support of my work. Over many years, Dimitri Gondicas has turned the Program in Hellenic Studies at Princeton into a major center for research and intellectual exchange. To him, as token of my long-standing gratitude, admiration and deep affection, I dedicate this book.
