10 Acknowledg ments I have been very fortunate, particularly so in the current climate, to have worked for a number of years now in various roles in the English and Modern Languages Department at Oxford Brookes University, and there I have also been extremely lucky to be part of a team that consists of exceptional scholars and teachers. There can be no better environment in which to work. My first acknowledgement must be to Alex Goody. Her advice, knowledge, and expertise were essential in getting the project started and sustaining it in its original incarnation, and I owe her a great debt. Other former and present colleagues at Oxford Brookes have been tremendously supportive, particularly Steven Matthews, who kindly offered the benefit of his experience and unfailing eye for detail at crucial moments, and Eóin Flannery, who has been a fantastic colleague in the Poetry Centre, and invited me to deliver a paper about Crane as part of the research seminar series at Brookes. Eric White has been a model of enthusiasm, intellectual commitment, and good academic sense, and his generosity in looking over and commenting thoroughly upon my work and ideas has always been much appreciated. Mark Whalan took an interest in the project early on, answered questions that I had about Crane and Jean Toomer, and was generally encouraging. I am much indebted also to Nick Selby for his constructive and incisive comments on an original draft of parts of the book. I also owe thanks to Richard Sales of the Camden Library Service, who made a number of enquiries on my behalf to dredge up obscure volumes from Camden s holdings. At Palgrave Macmillan, Paula Kennedy and Peter Cary were very supportive of the book from beginning to end, and have been a pleasure to work with. The manuscript also benefited a good deal from the constructive comments of an anonymous reviewer, and I am very grateful to them. My friend Néstor Cerdá offered great encouragement throughout the writing of the book, and his commitment to his own academic work has been an inspiration. I should also like to put on record my thanks to TLM, LA, and TTK. A substantial portion of the book deals with Crane s manuscripts, and if it had not been for the generosity of Gerry and Daoud Arbach, I would x
11 Acknowledgments xi not have been able to visit the Crane archive at Columbia University in order to do the research which this project demanded. They have always shown interest in the book, and I am thoroughly grateful to them. As they always have, my Mum, Dad, and my brother supported (and cajoled) me throughout the writing of this book, and I will always be thankful for everything that they have done whether they realise it or not in preparing me to write it. Their support has been essential. I could not have written this book without Nadia Arbach. On a practical level she helped enormously with editing and referencing, which happen to be things she is exceptional at doing, but she also willingly gave an extraordinary amount of time and energy to the project and encouragement to me when I really needed it. Her importance in the book s creation truly was [b]eyond all sesames of science. Frieda should probably start her study of literature by reading The Snowy Day or I Want My Hat Back. But one day, perhaps, she might look this book over. It is dedicated to her and her mother. Permissions and copyrights I am grateful to Carl Schmitt Jr. for sending me documents about his father and for answering questions about Carl Schmitt s relationship with Crane, and to Professor Langdon Hammer for kindly sending me, and generously allowing me to quote from, his unpublished essay about Crane s interest in photography. I should like to thank Jane Siegel and all the amiable staff at the Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Butler Library, Columbia University, where I spent a very enjoyable couple of weeks in the Crane archives in May and June, I am most grateful to Tara C. Craig, Reference Services Supervisor there, for allowing me to quote from the following selections from the Hart Crane Papers: Notes for / VOYAGES, 27 September 1924, Hart Crane Papers, Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Columbia University in the City of New York, Voyages II, ca.

Shawcross, Curator of Manuscripts at the Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books, and Manuscripts, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, for permitting me to quote part of a letter from Crane to Waldo Frank from April 21, 1924: SONNET, April 1924.
12 xii Acknowledg ments I am happy to acknowledge Jean Cannon at the Harry Ransom Center, The University of Texas at Austin, who was a great help in tracking down Crane manuscripts, and Natalia Sciarini at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Yale, who also provided a number of copies of Crane documents. I am very grateful indeed to Eileen Sullivan of the Digital Media Department at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City for kindly granting me the rights to reproduce Walker Evans s photograph [Hart Crane s Hands], , printed ca. 1970, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Gift of Arnold H.
