xvi | Acknowledgments
I would be remiss if I did not mention my employer, Northern Illinois Uni-
versity (NIU) Libraries, in these acknowledgments. Founders Memorial Library
at NIU encourages its faculty to engage in scholarly activity and provides the
resources to do so. Also Professor Katharina Barbe, Chair of the Department of
Foreign Languages and Literatures at NIU, and coincidently my wife, proofread
the preface, introduction, and my entries. Finally, I want to dedicate this volume to
my late father, Gordon K. Johnson. Credo et cogito.
