Acknowledgments
To the few persons who knew of my undertaking I owe a special debt of gratitude:
Thomas E. Cassidy, Emeritus of English, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, who acted as the only confidant in the early stages of writing and whose enthusiasm lent momentum to the initial attempt.
E. Earle Stibitz, Emeritus of English, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, who devoted himself to the tedious details of critical reading and who remained patient and ever sensitive to my idiosyncrasies, offering his expertise and support in every way.
Marianne Beck, who shared with me many of the trying experiences of our youth and who relinquished to me her personal diaries to supplement and corroborate my own.
