The Poetry of Mary Robinson: Form and Fame

x Acknowledgments

Romanticism, Then and Now,” at the University of Nebraska, where

I finished writing this book. I am grateful to Steve and all of the

participants for their support and camaraderie, with special thanks to

Jason Goldsmith.

At Widener University, I am blessed with a supportive dean,

Matthew Poslusny, to whom I am grateful. I also owe special thanks

to the staff of the Wolfgram Library, especially Susan Tsiouris. I

would be remiss if I did not thank the students who endured a se-

mester of Mary Robinson during the spring of 2010, but who also

greatly enriched my thinking about her poetry. Susan Logsdon’s

insights were particularly brilliant, and I thank her for reading the

manuscript. Thanks to Mark Graybill for being a good friend, valued

colleague, and awesome lead guitarist. Also at Widener, I am fortu-

nate to have as a colleague Janine Utell, who has been a generous

friend and inspiration during this project. I owe her many thanks for

brainstorming, feedback, and encouragement.

As always, I am deeply grateful for the love, support, and patience

of my family, Wendy Warren and Sarah Margaret Robinson.
