Cover Page Footnote

Earlier versions of this essay have been given as a paper since 1989. For their collective contributions I am grateful to audiences at Carleton College, MIT, Pomona College, Wellesley College, the University of Southern California, Yale University, and the English Institute. I have also benefited greatly from the participation of my students in lyric seminars at Dartmouth, Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania, and USC. Martin Brody, Martha Feldman, Charles Hamm, Peter Hawkins, Fred Maus, Sue Scheibler, and Jon Wagner deserve special thanks for patient instruction.
