As a longtime mentor and friend, James McGregor at the University of Georgia should be thanked for his encouragement and enthusiasm. As my graduate advisor and mentor, Catherine Larson is responsible for guiding this project from its earliest stages. Among her colleagues at Indiana University to whom I owe my sincere gratitude are Steven Wagschal, Giancarlo Maiorino, and Rosemarie McGerr. Juan Carlos Conde must also be thanked for his vision and encouragement, as well as Charles Ganelin at Miami University for his support and enthusiasm for my work. Finally, with- out the support of my colleagues at the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Kansas, and in particular of my fac- ulty mentor Vicky Unruh, completing this project would simply not have been possible. I owe thanks to the University of Kansas for their institutional sup- port as I redacted and revised this book, both for the funding I received through the New Faculty General Research Fund and the Jessie Marie Senor Cramer & Ann Cramer Root Faculty Award, and for the techni- cal support I received from the Hall Center for the Humanities. 7 The Discourse of Courtly Love in Seventeenth-Century Spanish Theater
