Acknowledgments ix Stefania Lucamante wishes to thank the Catholic University of America, particularly in the person of Vice Provost for Graduate Studies George E. Garvey, for the generous support and the summer grants, which allowed us to do the work. Sharon Wood thanks the University of Leicester for grants which helped toward travel expenses. We would like to thank also Jeffrey Popovitch at the Lauinger Library at Georgetown University and Kevin Gunn at the Mullen Library at the Catholic University of America for their invaluable help. Many thanks to Saveria Chemotti of the University of Padova and of Studi novecenteschi for kindly giving permission to use earlier versions of some of the essays in this volume. Our gratitude goes to many friends and colleagues as well as the contributors to this volume, and a particular thank you goes to Roberto Coroneo, of the University of Cagliari, for his generous help with the pragmatics of printing the essays on which we worked during long Sardinian days and nights. A special note of gratitude goes, also, to Susan Clawson, production editor at Purdue Studies in Romance Literatures, for her invaluable assistance in seeing this project through. ...
