Acknowledgments
My thanks and gratitude go first to my husband, Bill DeLamarter, for his constant interest in my work, for his thoughtful comments on the manuscript in its various stages, and especially for his willingness to talk with me about Rossetti and the issues of faith, gender, and time. Bill's own work in the field of social psychology has enhanced my perception of Rossetti as a Victorian woman of faith.
I would also like to thank Antony H. Harrison, David A. Kent, and Marjorie Stone for reading and commenting on individual chapters. I am especially grateful to Suzanne Bunkers for her careful reading of the whole manuscript. Thanks also go to Glenn Holland for his help with the interpretation of various biblical texts, to Glennis Stephenson for her helpful responses to my questions about Letitia Landon, to May Porco for her genuine interest in Rossetti's poetry and her faith, and to Frances Thomas for so many enjoyable chats about Rossetti.
