I would like to express my gratitude to the many colleagues, friends, students, librarians, editors, archivists, and publishers who have provided assistance, expertise, and support in various ways during the preparation of this critical edition. I am especially grateful to Dean Irvine, editor of the Canadian Literature Collection and director of the SSHRC-funded EMiC project, which contributed grant money to this project; the staff, past and present, at the University of Ottawa Press; the estate of Hugh MacLennan, at McGill University, and my colleagues and students at the University of Toronto, where my departments at the St. George and Mississauga campuses generously supported this project with research space and funding. It would be cumbersome to enumerate the specifics of the support I have received from many people, so I will simply list their names and offer apologies to anyone who has been forgotten: D. M. R.
