ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Jack Stillinger introduced me to the Romantic poets at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and he taught me that the location of a text matters. His teaching and textual scholarship were the original inspiration for this book. Since then I have benefited from the generous advice, encouragement, and kindness of many scholars, family, colleagues, and friends. Most of the ideas in, or related to, this book were first tested during the panels, excursions, and walks of the Wordsworth Summer Conferences and the Friends of Coleridge Conferences. For that reason I am most grateful to the organizers, leaders of walks, and the many delegates who have become friends over the years, including Katy Beavers, Dometa Brothers, Frederick Burwick, Jamie Castell, Paul and Jane Cheshire, Graham and Perdita Davidson, Richard and Fiona Gravil, Anthony Harding, Felicity James, Peter Larkin, Stacey McDowell, Michael O’Neill, Judith Page, Mark Sandy, Emily Stanback, Peter Swaab and Andrew MacDonald, Nishi Pulugurtha, Linda Reesman, Anya Taylor, Ann Wroe, and Saeko Yoshikawa.
