Acknowledgments

vii Acknowledgments An earlier version of chapter 2 appeared in Exemplaria 15,no.1 (Spring 2003): 1–38; available online at www.maney.co.uk/journasl/exm and www.ingenta connect.com/content/maeny/exm. This book has been many years in the making. For enduring the oscillations these years entailed, I thank my husband, Joseph Herzog. For their unqualified support, I thank my friend Diana Karamichael Crean and my family , especially my mother, Claire Machosky, whose vicarious joy in my work often has provided the inspiration for me to continue.In its nascent state and in its final form, this book has benefited from the coaching and cajoling of Nasrin Qader.Along the way I have received input and support from many people. I express my gratitude to my graduate advisors, including Próspero Saíz, and especially to Klaus Berghahn, mein Steifdoktorvater. Over the past few years, many others have contributed to my thinking on this topic and encouraged the completion of this book: Jonathan Culler, Robert Harrison, Davey Hubay,Fannie LeMoine,Michael Marrinan,Timothy J.Murray,Linda Nishigaya, James Paxson, Masha Raskolnikov, Patricia Rosenmeyer, Gordon Teskey, and Rose Zimbardo. I express special thanks to Philip E. Lewis and Timothy J. Reiss for their helpful suggestions on the manuscript at several stages. Although they did not advise me on this particular project, the late Martin Stevens and Scott McMillin were important mentors,colleagues,and friends whose encouragement certainly helped me through discouraging times in this book’s composition. My work also benefited from anonymous readers, the attentive production staff of Fordham University Press, and the sharp eye of Ann Miller, my copy editor. Lastly, I offer my deepest gratitude to HelenTartar at the Press for her years of support (and patience) in bringing this volume to print. S T RUCTURES OF APPEARING ...
