| My thanks are due to the following periodicals for offering a first home to earlier versions of several of these essays: Harper's, Chronicles, Missouri Review, Performing Arts Journal, American Theatre, Stanford Literary Review, and Restoration and Management Notes. All of the essays have been revised somewhat for inclusion in the present volume. |
| It would take too many pages to list all of the people whose ideas, criticisms, advice, discoveries, and creative artworks have gone into the making of this book. Let me single out in an almost arbitrary way the names of a few whose contribution seems to cry out for my thanks: my colleagues Robert Corrigan, Alex Argyros, Zsuzsanna and Istvan Ozsvath, Stan Rupert, Fred Curchack, and David Channell; my mother, the anthropologist Edith Turner, my brother, the physicist Robert Turner, my brother Rory Turner who advised me on historical reenactments, and of course my late father Victor W. Turner; Bill Jordan, whose contribution in the area of ecological restoration was enormous; Lynda and Michael Sexson, Harvey Wheeler, Lewis Lapham, Frederick Feirstein, Dick Allen, Dana Gioia, Wade Newman, Emily Grosholz, Adrian Malone, Sandra Bradley, Ingo Rentschler, Jerre Levy, Amy Clampitt, Ihab Hassan, Colwyn Trevarthen, J. T. Fraser, John Miles Foley, Robert Kellogg, Tom Scheff, Judith Weissman, Roy Wagner, Ralph Cohen, Elizabeth and Helen Forman, Richard Hoppe, Cliff and Kuniko Weber, Joyce Parr, Martin Garhart, Daniel Fleckles, Joanne Hoover, Burton Raffel, Richard Schechner, John Hirsch, Jim O'Quinn, Speer Morgan, Virgil Nemoianu, Peter Viereck, Bonnie Marranca, Pat Howell, Edwin Watkins, Alma Fenwick, Arthur Redding, Victor Peterson, David Newman, Gretchen Sween, Randy Newman, Rodger Sorenson, Gail Thomas, Donald and Louise Cowan, Robert Sardello, and William Burford. I would also like to thank my wife, Mei Lin, for her deep, scholarly, and sensitive readings of Homer, Aeschylus, Virginia Woolf, and all those other subjects in which she is the tutor of my taste and the guide of my civility. |
