Acknowledgments
As a project that began in earnest five years ago and that had been gestating for (at least) five years before that, Byzantine Ecocriticism only came to fruition because of the time, generosity, and support of people and organizations too numerous to list; I will nevertheless try to do my best to recall them here. My first thanks go to the City University of New York (CUNY) students who passed through my classes between 2006 and 2009, first at Brooklyn College and then at the City College
