Acknowledgments
I am grateful to the College of Wooster for supporting research leaves in 199091 and 199596, which allowed me to complete much of the research and the initial writing that led to this book, and for providing additional funding from the Henry Luce III Fund for Distinguished Scholarship to enable me to do necessary research in Parish and to help me purchase some of the book's illustrations. I want to thank my colleagues and students for the many ways in which they have challenged and encouraged my thinking and my scholarship. In particular, I thank my student assistants, Chris Becker and Ken Walczak, who patiently helped me track down references and resources, and my students in three successive classes of "Comparative Sexual Poetics," whose careful reading, interesting writing, and thoughtful discussions stimulated my own thinking about literature and film.
