A Note on the Text
I cite page numbers from The Collected Stories of Eudora Welty (New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1980) parenthetically, in the body of the text, giving page numbers only. When I cite other relevant Welty texts, such as One Writer's Beginnings, The Eye of the Story, or Conversations with Eudora Welty, the context will always make it clear that the page numbers given in parenthesis in the text do not refer to The Collected Stories; if not, I name the other text in parentheses. As many other texts as possible are cited parenthetically in the text as well. The Works Cited listing at the end of the book contains the relevant bibliographic information for both primary and secondary sources cited in the text and notes.
Manuscripts are cited in the notes using the enumeration system published in Suzanne Marrs's The Welty Collection: A Guide to the Eudora Welty Manuscripts and Documents at the Mississippi Department of Archives and History (Jackson: University Press of Mississippi, 1989), citing Marrs's numbers and the collection in which the manuscript is kept, plus the page(s) in that volume in which the manuscript is described (for example: I.A4 Jackson, Marrs 31-32). Marrs's book also covers significant Welty collections outside of those stored at the Mississippi Department of Archives and History in Jackson.

Acknowledgments
I would like to say thank-you to friends and colleagues who have been particularly helpful orienting me when I was lost in this book: Rachel Blau DuPlessis, Lawrence Buell, Dawn Trouard, Albert Devlin, Ruth Vande Kieft, Michael Kreyling, Harriet Pollack, Carol Singley, Laurie Langbauer, Phil Weinstein, Chuck James, Kathryn Morgan, T. Kaori Kitao, Wai-chee Dimock, Richard Spear, Peggy Whitman Prenshaw, Louise Westling, Seetha Srinivasan, and Hunter Cole. Some of these people may be surprised to see themselves on this list, but they shouldn't be surprised at what a thoughtful comment or question can do. Readers who enjoy reading between the lines of a book's footnotes (as I do) will notice others who repeatedly sustained me as well. They are not responsible for the creature that emerged from these Morgan's Woods, of course.
