Acknowledgments
This book originated at the NASSR conference Romantic Prospects in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, where the co-editors met in person for the first time, having worked previously on nineteenth-century travel editions together virtually. It was a fitting beginning and we are grateful to the organizers for the beautiful and lively setting in which those conversations took place: we had traveled there from different countries, were different nationalities, and both lived many, many miles from where we had originated. Our shared interest in travel persisted and evolved; we both nurtured ideas for extending beyond the “prospects” of that conference encounter to a broader view of the long nineteenth century. We thank all our contributors for their trust and patience in preparing this collection. We are also grateful to Ben Doyle for encouraging and commissioning the work before his departure from Palgrave, to Shaun Vigil for moving it forward, and to Lina Aboujieb for bringing it to completion. Our anonymous reader helped us shape an earlier conception into a collection
