Page xi Acknowledgments Many people and organizations helped me make this book. First, I express gratitude to the National Endowment for the Humanities for a travel to collections grant that made possible my first reading of the Howe Family Papers at Houghton Library. For subsequent support enabling travel to Cambridge, I am grateful to the University of Idaho's Sabbatical Leave Evaluation Committee and to the English Department's Lillian White Fund for Professional Development. Kurt Olsson, dean of the College of Letters and Science, and Douglas Adams, chair of the English department, intervened in a number of ways to provide time, space, and equipment for the writing of the book. During four years of research the reading room staff at Houghton Library was unfailingly pleasant and helpful. Leo Damrosch, chair of Harvard's Department of English and American Literature and Language, kindly offered me visiting scholar status during the fall of 1995. The master, tutors, students, and staff of Cabot House, particularly Susan Livingston, Louise Bray, and Gene Ketelhohn, extended themselves graciously and in countless ways to my wife and me during our six-month residence among them. So, too, did, Bonnie Creinin, Ann Getman, Roger and Rosemary Zehntner, and Steve and Mary Goldring.
