Rehearsal for a Renaissance [antikvár]

ACKNOWLEDGMENTSAmong those who contributed to the creation of this book, I particularly want to thank the following: my wife, Sharonfriend, companion, and inspiration on the greatest of journeys; Nancy V. Berberick, writer and fellow spirit, for her enthusiasm from the beginning; George Anderson, Melvin Eisenstadt, V.A.L. Lewis, and Doris Stremel for their patience through endless rewrites; Prof. Patrick J. Gal-lacher, a convivial host on a Chaucerian pilgrimage who allowed me to join his merry company; my editor, Chris Miller, whose suggestions have always improved my writing; my agent, Maria Carvainis, for her invaluable help in the business of writing; Bob Julyan, Karen McCue, Mary Rosenblum, and Neal Singer for critiquing various portions of the manuscript; the Southwest Writers Workshop for its continuing help to struggling writers; the University of New Mexico General Libraries; and finally, special thanks to Cynthia Goldblatt, Patty Sheehan, and Will Parker, among others, for encouraging me to trust that inner voice which is my surest guide to truth and beauty.
