Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments vii My warmest thanks are due to the many illustrious unamunistas to whom I am so deeply indebted, and whose work, bridging the last half of the twentieth century, I have been able only partially to recognize in my text, notes, and bibliography. Very special thanks are due also to the graduate students from whom I learned so much in my seminars, particularly Inés Azar, Walter Glannon, Harriet Greif, and Veronica Reese, and to the friends who assisted me in coming to terms with the arcana of the modern computer, especially Albert Folop, Dean Snyder, and John Olson.
