SHAKESPEARE’S ART OF POESY IN KING LEAR to Dr. Zita Turi for the patience with which she read my drafts and encouraged me to continue the work I had started. Last but not least, Iam also grateful to Dr. Thomas Cooper for language editing the book and to Käroli Gäspär University of the Reformed Church for having provided a publication grant without which this book would not have been possible. I would like to offer special thanks to the University of Glasgow Library, Archives & Special Collections, the Huntington Library and ProQuest for their kind permission to reproduce images from their collections of Early Modern books. But most of all, I owe a debt of thanks to my family and friends near and far, whose love has sustained me over the long period of research and writing, and I owe a special debt to the students I have taught for all the questions they raised, which I hope have helped me find an articulate form for my ideas.
