ULLMANN CHICAGO, IL AUGUST 2018 Copyright by Anna N. Ullmann, 2018 All rights reserved. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would first like to thank all members of the Loyola University Chicago English Department faculty and staff who contributed to the success of this dissertation. In particular, Drs. James Biester, Paul Jay, and Pamela Caughie provided valuable instruction and insight into early modern literature and literary theory more broadly that has, alongside that of my committee, been instrumental to my thinking about early modern genre and ideology. Dr. Elissa Stogner’s personal support and encouragement has also been especially important to me.
