Acknowledgements

Countless people have helped me in producing this book, but a number of academic colleagues deserve special recognition. In Italy, I’ve benefited from the wise council and warm friendship of Paola Pugliatti, and Donatella Pallotti, and in the UK, Stephen O’Neill, Paul Edmondson, John Drakakis, Richard Wilson, and both Ken and Irene Pickering. Closer to home, I’m grateful to have had the support of Darlena Ciraulo, Terri Bourus, Katherine Scheil, Bob Logan, Lisa Starks, Ruby and Ed Mitkus, Fred Sauceman, Louise Geddes, David Schiller, and the late Christy Desmet. Here at ETSU, I have profited from the comments and careful proofreading skills of Judy Slagle, Josh Reid, Rebecca Stephens, and Thomas Crofts, a group of scholars who personify the term collegiality. I also have benefitted from travel grants and time off to write, including a one-semester Non-Instructional Assignment (sabbatical) enabled by my Chair, Katherine Weiss, and supported by Gordon Anderson, the Dean of Arts and Sciences.
