Cover Page Footnote

This essay began in epistolary exchange with Katie Kadue (my real ideal) and developed in conversation with her. It benefited from Ramsey McGlazer’s scrupulous eye, from James Leo Cahill’s editorial feedback, and from the anonymous reviewers for Discourse. Thanks are due as well to the attendees of the Renaissance Project symposium at Pomona College in June 2022.
