Acknowledgements
I want to thank Villanova University for a subvention supporting the editing of the manuscript. All of my colleagues at Villanova are wonderful and generous. Martin Laird, Vincent Lloyd, Kevin Hughes, and Kerry San Chirico have been especially supportive of this project and models of scholarly engagement. Conversations with Jim Wetzel over the years have never ceased to inspire. I am grateful to my students for their kindness, curiosity, and brilliance. Amy Hollywood, Constance Furey, Kris Trujillo, Eleanor Craig, Fr. Maximos Constas, Tamsin Jones, and Niki Kasumi Clements read portions of the manuscript with care and have also been places of refuge for many years. Thank you, John Arblaster, Lydia Shahan, Michael Hahn, Sally Poor, Burcht Pranger, Eddie Howells, Willemien Otten, Katie Lofton, Niklaus Largier, Nicholas Watson, Bob Sweetman, Brenna Moore, Ailie Posillico, Luke Roberts, Barbara Newman, Martha Newman, Aaron Hollander, Julie Klein, Julie Regan, Sean Mullen, Nora Johnson, and Amelia Perkins. The work of all the people listed here has been a source of wisdom and learning for which I am greatly indebted. Thank you to my Canadian family, Duffy, Peter, Jen, Izzy, Sondra, Mom and Dad and always to Brett, Georgia, and Ben, for your patience, humor, and love.
