Extract
I am immensely grateful to the many people whose assistance and encouragement made the completion of this book possible. I would like to acknowledge first David Quint and John Rogers, who advised the project in its initial stages and continued to support it thereafter. At a later stage David Quint very generously read and commented on the manuscript as a whole. I wish to thank the following as well for their long-standing support: Harold Bloom, Marie Borroff, Leslie Brisman, the late Thomas M. Greene, the late John Hollander, Lawrence Manley, Annabel Patterson, and Joseph Roach. William Carroll, Geoffrey Hill, Erin Murphy, Rosanna Warren, and James Winn received me warmly during the two years spent working on this book at Boston University, and I am especially glad to have had the benefit of Michael Prince’s advice and conversation at a time when I was thinking and writing about the eighteenth century. I completed this book at Claremont McKenna College and deeply appreciate the support of all my colleagues in the Department of Literature: Audrey Bilger, Leland de la Durantaye, Robert Faggen, John Farrell, James Morrison, Ellen Rentz, Robert von Hallberg, and Nicholas Warner. John Farrell read a version of the entire manuscript and offered many clarifying comments. Leslie Elias-Volz, Cindi Guimond, Gregory Hess, and Nicholas Warner provided much-appreciated institutional support. I am indebted to my research assistants — Chris Ferrer, Carl Peaslee, and Kathryn Punsly—for their timely help. For various kinds of advice and assistance I also wish to acknowledge the following people: Eugenie Birch, Dave Bjerk, Adam Bradley, Jenny Davidson, Kathy Eden, Mordechai Feingold, Angus Fletcher, Lily Geismer, Victoria Kahn, Jamaica Kincaid, Laura Knoppers, Anthea Kraut, Sarah Larson, Aaron Matz, Molly Murray, Mark Oppenheimer, George and Fernande Raine, M. A. Sancho II, Debora Shuger, Phyllis Thompson, Eden Werring, Judy Wolfe, Marta Zamora, and Katja Zelljadt. I am grateful to Rob Haskell for commenting on a portion of the manuscript at a critical point.
