Acknowledgments
I owe an immense debt to the members of the Robert Penn Warren Circle, especially Charlotte Beck, John Burt, William Bedford Clark, Mark Miller, James Perkins, Randolph Runyon, Hugh Ruppersburg, Victor Strandberg, and Rosanna Warren for their constant encouragement in the writing of this manuscript. Thanks also to Deborah Digges and Jay Cantor, and to John Fyler for his abiding support. The hard work of Fred Hobson, editor of the Southern Literary Studies Series, and of my editors John Easterly and Helen Kebabian, has helped to correct innumerable errors of scholarship and style; I alone bear responsibility for any that remain.
