1. This is an edited version of the lecture given at the BISA Conference in 1998. I have retained the informal, spoken style of the original. I wish to thank the following people who have commented on the original text of the lecture, the subsequent paper, or both; K.M.Fierke, Stephanie Hoopes, John Maclean, Caroline Nicholson, William Wallace and an anonymous referee. This is the first significant piece of work I have ever published which has not been read and criticized by Christine Nicholson who died in September 1998. I hope that her life-long insistence that I try to think clearly and take writing the English language seriously has had its effect.
