Introduction: Vol. 34 No. 5, for W. J. T. Mitchell
And they conversed together in Visionary forms dramatic which bright Redounded from their Tongues in thunderous majesty, in Visions In new Expanses, creating exemplars of Memory and of Intellect As its readers know, Critical Inquiry is a quarterly; yet we are dubbing this issue number 5 of volume 34. It is an extraordinary number, out of sequence and violating thirty-three years of publication practice—and certain, therefore, to create problems for scholars, bookbinders, and librarians of the future. This volume celebrates the thirtieth anniversary of Tom Mitchell’s role as editor of the journal. It was collected, edited, and designed without Tom’s knowledge by the executive editor, the seven coeditors, the senior managing editor, and the editorial staff. Don Randel, immediate past president of the University of Chicago, provided a generous subvention to cover the costs of production. We, and the authors, offer it to Tom as a gift of appreciation and affection.
