Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments We thank John N. Duvall and Nancy Peterson for their aid and advice throughout the process of editing the special issue of Modern Fiction Studies where this project began. And we are happy to express our gratitude to Suzanne Flinchbaugh, who guided the book through production at the Johns Hopkins University Press and enthusiastically supported its expansion. We also thank the anonymous reader of the manuscript for advice and encouragement. We would also like to thank Randall Burkett, the staff at Emory University’s Special Collections, and the Center for Humanistic Inquiry at Emory for their resources and assistance in making use of Emory’s archival holdings in African American literature. Thanks also to Randall Cherry, Brent Edwards, T. Denean Sharpley-Whiting, Siobhan Somerville, and the late Michel Fabre for their generosity throughout the development of this topic.
