Antonio Scuderi - Dario Fo: Framing, Festival, and the Folkloric Imagination.

The research and writing that went into this study was greatly facilitated by a sabbatical leave that was granted to me by Truman State University. Friends and colleagues generously helped with proofreading, suggestions, and feedback. These include Gloria Allaire, Joe Benevento, Adam Davis, Joe Farrell, and Helena Kaufman. Two former professors at the University of Wisconsin-Madison offered advice in their specialized fields: Thomas D. Cravens in linguistics and Christopher Kleinhenz in medieval studies and Dante. Special thanks to folklorist Richard Bauman, who was kind enough to read the manuscript, offer sage advice, and suggest the title.

The present study includes, in greatly expanded forms, three previously published articles (Scuderi 2003, 2004, and 2005). Permission to reprint from these was granted by Theatre Journal (The Johns Hopkins University Press), Modern Language Review (Modern Humanities Research Association), and New Theatre Quarterly (Cambridge University Press). Giulio Einaudi editore granted permission to quote extensively from Dario Fos Lu santo julle Franesco . Dario Fo, Franca Rame, Jacopo Fo, and their competent staff were gracious in granting permission to quote from Darios plays and from the interviews he gave me. They also provided me with original artwork by Dario, as well as permission to reproduce them. Thanks also to artist and photographer Brent Orton who enlarged and enhanced the electronic image of Fos sketch for the frontispiece. All translations are by me, unless otherwise indicated.
