I thank the audiences at Duke University and the University of Toledo who responded to early versions of this paper. I am also grateful to participants in the Rhetoric Colloquium at the University of Toledo, especially Wallace Martin and Don Bialostosky, for their incisive criticisms and helpful suggestions. Above all, I thank my colleague John Crowley for copies of The Story of a Bad Boy and Peck's Bad Boy, and Don Pease for his invitation to contribute an essay to this collection. boundary 2 17:1, 1990.
