Acknowledgements:

Raymond T. Anderson. This article could not have been written without Raymond’s help. Since he has access to a good library and I don’t, he relentless hunted down sources and their full references me. To give you an idea of Raymond’s imput, a full half of the sources listed in the References were brought to my attention by him.

Delight Clay. When telling my mother about this project, she told me that Mary Queen of Scots brought poetry and dance to Scotland from the French court where Mary had grown up. Naturally I followed up this lead. So it is thanks to my mother that that we now know the villanelle entered the British Isles through Mary Queen of Scots.

Ronald McFarland. Professor McFarland patiently answered every question I had about villanelles. He sent me an email telling me when Henley’s “A dainty Thing’s a villanelle” was written when I had not been able to find its publication date.

Joseph Casazza--Senior Computer Specialist,Congressional Reference Division, Congressional Research Service,Library of Congress--sent me the fabulous quote about villanelles being the sort of dance “Country wenches do” as well as the URL for an Italian description of a villanelle as a ballet.

Ronald Hutton is yet another helpful person who, as McFarland does, reminds me of the line from A Street Car Named Desire “I have always relied upon the kindness of strangers.”

Guillermo Ramon. When I first excitedly told my husband “It’s a villanelle!” and recited it to him, he pointed out it was a Medieval beat and so was incredibly helpful in my finishing the poem with the proper meter.
