6 Acknowledgments I would like to thank the following administrators at Appalachian State University for their support of this project and for providing the time necessary for research and writing: English Department chairs James Ivory, Jim Fogelquist, and Carl Eby, and Arts and Sciences dean Tony Calamai. Two graduate seminars in literary theory at Appalachian were full of excellent students who engaged in rich conversations about reading and asked challenging questions about this project. I also received helpful responses from graduate students and faculty at the University of Trier. I presented an early version of the key ideas in this book at the Expressive Arts program at the European Graduate School. Thanks to Paulo Knill and Sally Atkins for making that presentation possible and to the amazing participants in that program for their spirited responses. Many colleagues in the English Department at Appalachian talked with me about this project, made fruitful suggestions about scholarly books and articles, and provided emotional support during a rough time in the department. I d especially like to thank David Orvis, Susan Staub, Jill Ehnenn, Tammy Wahpeconiah, Grace McEntee, Colin Ramsey, David Haney, Bill Brewer, Bruce Dick, Mark Vogel, Kathryn Kirkpatrick, Joseph Bathanti, Cece Conway, Craig Fischer, Kristina Groover, Holly Martin, Leon Lewis, Wendy Winn, Alison Gulley, Emily Miller, and Dusty Ross. Thanks to Leslie Sargent Jones for great conversations and intellectual stimulation. Thanks beyond words to Emory Maiden, Chip Arnold, Gene Miller, Jim Winders, Marianne Adams, Melissa Barth, Ellen Arnold, and Joan Woodworth for decades of friendship. Thanks also to Ryan Jenkins, Brigitte Shull, Leighton Lustig and Rachel Crawford at Palgrave, and to Marilyn Gaull, a great teacher and mentor.

7 x Acknowledgments To my family, with deep love and affection. My parents, Tom and Eleanor. My sisters, Rita, Clare, and Joan. My daughters and sons-in-law, Nora and Ben, Kate and Ryan, and Julia and Joe. My grandchildren, Rebekah, Sean, Meg, TJ, Ty, and Annie. And to my wife, Joan, the love of my life, thanks for your patience and strength.
