9 A c k n o w l e d g m e n t s In the course of my work on this book, a number of individuals and institutions have offered me support, which I wish to acknowledge. I owe the greatest debt to Professor Agata Preis- Smith, former Chair of the Section of American Literature in the Institute of English Studies, University of Warsaw. She has been my guiding star ever since I came to Warsaw for my graduate studies back in the mid- 1990s. She represents the professional standard I have always striven to live up to. My gratitude for her encouragement, understanding, enthusiasm, and kindness, is simply inexpressible. I had a chance to present several parts of my work- in- progress at the meetings of the Section of American Literature; the discussions that followed were immensely enlightening to me. I thank my colleagues in the Section for their interest in my project. I did the most substantial part of my research during a term as a Fulbright Senior Scholar at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I am grateful to the Polish- U.S. Fulbright Commission in Warsaw, and in particular to Director Andrzej Dakowski, for nominating me for this fellowship. I thank Professor Walter Benn Michaels, former Chair of the English Department UIC, for a kind invitation and a warm welcome to the department. During my stay at UIC, I had the privilege and pleasure to work with Professor Robin Grey and Professor Terence Whalen, who generously shared their time and expertise with me. Specifically, I am indebted to Professor Grey for her invaluable last- minute help in collecting the missing bibliography. Professor Lawrence Buell, whom I had the honor to meet at Harvard University, expressed keen interest in my book- in- progress and suggested the ways of streamlining my argument. It goes without saying that Professor Buell s pioneering scholarship on the postcolonial implications of the American Renaissance writing informed my project at every stage of preparation. I thank him for the work without which this book would never have been written. Professor Josie Campbell and Professor John Leo, my great friends at the University of Rhode Island at Kingston, invited me to lecture on a subject

10 x Acknowledgments related to my project and offered the kind of academic appreciation that is always more than welcome. My other friends and colleagues in the U.S. Dr. Agnieszka Bedingfield in Boston, Professor Holli Levitsky in LA, and Professor Monika Adamczyk- Garbowska, then in Washington, DC invited me to their places, making my American experience as exciting as it only could be. Last but not least, I wish to express my gratitude to Carol Rigmark and Tom Byrnes, residents of Northbrook, IL, for allowing me to use their townhouse during my term at UIC. * * * Several chapters of this book have appeared as articles prior to the present publication. Chapter Two was published in ATQ 20.3 (September 2006); Chapter Four in Mosaics of Words. Essays on the American and Canadian Literary Imagination in Memory of Professor Nancy Burke, ed.
