ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This volume has its origins in scholarship presented at the conference “Aftershock: Post-Traumatic Cultures since the Great War” held at the University of Copenhagen in May 2013. The conference and a follow-up event were funded by Danish Council for Independent Research (FKK) and the Carlsberg Foundation, Denmark. We received additional grants from the Department of English, Germanic and Romance Studies and the Centre for European Studies, both at the University of Copenhagen, and we are most grateful to the University of Copenhagen for its support. We would like to thank Andrew Miller for his herculean work in organizing the conference. At the conference, we received invaluable and stimulating contributions from a wide range of colleagues who shared their expertise.
