My thanks also go to those who made the research trip as productive as possible: Claude Bissell for his warm hospitality and encouragement, Andrew Wainwright for the valuable practical advice, Wayne A. Rice, Executor of the Estate of Ernest Buckler, for access to the Bucklerpapers and manuscripts and permission to make use of all the material, as well as the staff of the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library who were unfailingly kind and helpful. I am particularly grateful to Lynette Hunter of the University of Leeds, for her invaluable guidance in the early inchoate stages of the manuscript.

My thanks also go to colleagues from diverse fields in France whose expertise was most illuminating and made certain insights possible: Jean-Pierre Bourdon, Patrick Chezaud, Pierre-Henri Frangne, and Paul Jacopin. I am very grateful to Paul for his unflagging support of my work. Finally, my thanks go to Sandra Woolfrey for her immediate and wholehearted support of the completed manuscript before handing over the directorship of Wilfrid Laurier Press into the equally competent hands of Brian Henderson. ...
