Acknowledgments
First, I would like to thank Dr. Susan I. Gatti; she inspired me to do better work, and to think deeply about representations of Rossetti. I also want to thank Dr. Karen Dandurand and Dr. David B. Downing for their willingness to be a part of this process and for their interest and suggestions. Dr. Cheryl Wilson gave generously of her time in reading drafts and offering suggestions. I owe her my thanks.
Next, I am indebted to many friends and family for their emotional and material support during my work on this project, and I would like to extend my thanks to them: Jim Alexander, Jennie Burgess, Tom Coakley, Danelle Conner, Ed and Cindy Dallape, Jon Darling, William Doncaster, Heather Duda, Christopher Firmstone, Reinhard Heinisch, Marilyn Jenkins and the staff of the Allegheny County Library Association, Sharon Markovich, Joan Mix, Shamim Rajpar, Catherine Ruvolo, Darlene Slinkosky, Matt Ussia, and Arlene Vukas.
Third, I offer special thanks to Ghada Sasa Alawneh for her unfailing friendship, support, and belief in this project.
