“Over the years, both of us have found that our best work has come from research that remains open to surprise, from a sort of shambling scholarship only vaguely aware of its own destination. Such scholarship sets up a nicely creative tension between purpose and possibility, casting the researcher as an intellectual scrounger sorting among situations and ideas. At its best, it coalesces into something more than can be anticipated, approximating those moments of improvisational jazz when shared musical structure explodes into insight and emotion”. (204)
