Overview

This volume honors Don Gifford, master teacher, exacting researcher, and provocative writer. The essays reflect some but not all of the disciplines that Gifford taught - literature, art, ecology, invention, American culture, and the history of ideas. Heeding Emerson's call to -search for facts amid appearances- and to pursue -the ultimate reason of oall things and experience - these essays illustrate how contemporary scholars in a variety of fields fulfill their role as society's delegated intellect.
Don Gifford, a distinguished teacher, writer, and researcher at Williams College, is best known for his meticulous scholarship in James Joyce and his pioneering study of the history of perception, "The Farther Shore.""
