Acknowledgements

Many, many thanks to the friends and colleagues who made this volume possible:

My incomparable team of undergraduate consultants, Joey Belsan, Michael Hilty, Faith Rush, Rachel Stewart.  They read every assignment, watched every video, and advised on everything from annotations to prompts to pedagogy.

Editor Shaun Russell, master and historian of Renaissance sonnets.

Editors Abby Greff and Clint Morrison, who produced readable and reliable moderations of Middle English texts.

Editor, designer, and author Nick Hoffman: who made the bundles beautiful, who curated the “galleries,” who introduced students to the diverse world of the early Middle Ages, and who produced the hands-down most popular videos of the volume.  Who else can be both erudite and hilarious?

English Department Chair, Robyn Warhol, who supported this project.

Administrative Manager, Wayne Lovely, who found the English Department matching funds and made the ALX grant work.

ALX for supporting this project and my wonderful ALX consultants, Alexis Duffy and Ashley Miller.

Henry Griffy of ODEE for his advice and insights in the adventures of online teaching.

To my 2201 students–past, present, and future–who have and will enrich this anthology with their insights.  This book is for them.
