have been overwhelmingly generous both intellectually and personally, while the staff at Baker Library has proved infallible. At the University of New Hampshire, Lisa MacFarlane's warm intelligence and Brigitte Bailey's unfailing good humor have, quite honestly, kept me going. Elsewhere, David Leverenz, Lucy Maddox, Bette Weidman, and Barry O'Connell have read and commented upon various parts of the manuscript, and I thank them for their kindness and their insight. Since my days at Columbia, Robert Ferguson has been my mainstay. Priscilla Wald, now at the University of Washington, has been equally generous as a scholar and a friend.
