ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This book was written on two continents and in four cities – and at times while traveling between them. The intellectual and geographic journey that led to completing this project would not have been possible without the help of several individuals and institutions, and I am delighted to be able to extend my gratitude to them. The exceptionally rich intellectual exchange at Cornell University sparked the questions that developed into this project, and I am grateful to the faculty and staff at the departments of Comparative Literature and German Studies at Cornell, the fellow graduate students and the broader Cornell community for providing the best possible environment for the formative research phase of this book.
