Acknowledgments
An international undertaking of this magnitude does not come to fruition without the assistance of many people.
The existence of this volume is testimony to the vision and generosity of the Rockefeller Foundation, which supported a conference on American literature in multinational perspectives at its Bellagio Study and Conference Center. Susan Garfield, in the Foundation's New York office, and Roberto Celli, administrator of that lovely site on Lake Como, helped to make the preliminary work for this volume a collegial and pleasurable endeavor.
Professors Thomas Rimer of the University of Maryland, Hisao Kanaseki of Komazawa University/Tokyo, John Brushwood of the University of Kansas, Orm verland of the University of Bergen, Sacvan Bercovitch and Harry Xu of Harvard University, Robert Gordon and Anthony Magistrale of the University of Vermont were each instrumental in suggesting contributors to this volume. Thomas Ragle, director of the Salzburg Seminar, played a seminal role in first bringing together a number of the other contributors.
