I am grateful for the support during the past year of the Department of English at Carnegie Mellon University. I am also very grateful to Editorial Assistant Mark Thompson, copyeditor Audra Starcheus, and Morrell Gillette, Pooja Jain, and Laura Etheredge at Cambridge University Press. I consult regularly with the journal's associate editors and members of the editorial board, and I value their thoughtfulness and willingness to help.
I am also pleased to acknowledge the contribution of the following scholars who reviewed manuscripts during 2010, when most of the editorial work for Vol. 40 was done.
