Kathleen Perry Long - Religious Differences in France: Past and Present

The colloquium that led to this collection would never have taken place without the support of my colleague Steve Kaplan, who inspired the event and assured that it would happen, and of Nelly Furman, whose hard work helped me obtain funding for the colloquium and whose advice both guided me through the colloquium and helped me improve the presentation of the manuscript. I must also thank the Office of the Provost at Cornell University for its generous support of this event, as well as the Florence Gould Foundation and the Lucius N. Littauer Foundation. Other support came from the Jewish Studies Program at Cornell, the Deans Office, the French Studies Program, the Peace Studies program, Cornell United Religious Work, the Society for the Humanities at Cornell, the Department of Modern Languages, the Religious Studies Program, Near Eastern Studies, the Department of History, the Department of Romance Studies, the Renaissance Colloquium, the Institute for European Studies, the Department of Government, and the Womens Studies Program. I would like to thank my patient contributors to this volume; their advice and understanding helped me see this project through. My thanks go as well to Duane Rudolph, who translated the essays by Denis Crouzet, Christian Jouhaud, and Carmen Bernand. I am grateful to Susette Newberry, and the rest of the staff of the Rare Book and Manuscript Collection at Cornell, for their help in finding illustrations for this volume. I thank Douglas Long, my in-house computer support, my mapmaker, and my most trusted advisor. But most of all, I thank Ray Mentzer, whose advice was crucial to the completion of this project, and the staff at Truman State University Press, who guided me through the process of preparation of this manuscript.
