Acknowledgments

This book has been in progress, off and on, for over a decade, so there have been many people who have supported it. I want to acknowledge, first, the faculty on my dissertation committee at the University of Notre Dame: Chris Vanden Bossche, Sara Maurer, Greg Kucich, and Margaret Doody. Their support and criticism gave me insights into how I might turn my dissertation into a book. I also want to thank David Wayne Thomas, who suggested that I take a look at recent work on cosmopolitanism. At the California State University, Chico, I am grateful for the support and encouragement of my colleagues, particularly of past and present English department chairs: Aiping Zhang, Tracy Butts, and Peter Kittle. In different ways, they have encouraged me to be a better scholar and teacher. At Meriam Library, Flora Nunn has handled many interlibrary loans for obscure texts. Thank you for making my research possible! In 2018, my work on this book was supported by a much-needed sabbatical that gave me the time and space to rethink and reorganize this project, and I am profoundly grateful. Thanks to Allie T
