ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
My sincerest thanks to all the authors who contributed to the collection and to the anonymous peer-reviewer at Palgrave. The final revisions have been completed during a residency at the University of Melbourne sponsored by a Macgeorge fellowship. I wish to thank Rachel Fensham, Head of the School of Culture and Communication, and Ken Gelder from the English department for his hospitality within the Australian Centre.

I am particularly grateful to everyone else at the School and at the University who welcomed me there with exquisite kindness and generosity, in particular my neighbors Jeff and Sam Haynes who promptly shared top-notch technology of every conceivable practical usefulness to make my stay even more pleasurable. My sincerest thanks to the staff and managers of the State Library of Victoria and of the University of Melbourne library, particularly Philip Kent, for granting me access to all their resources, and to the
