Acknowledgements
The experience of writing this book has been an exhilarating and a challenging one and was made possible by the support of a number of individuals and institutions. The book is a revised version of my PhD, submitted to the University of Manchester in 2013, and as such owes much to the inspirational and enthusiastic guidance of my supervisors, Dr Matthew Philpotts and Professor Mona Baker. I am also indebted to Professor Stephen Parker and Dr Morven Beaton-Thome for their insights and suggestions over the course of the PhD and to Professor Stuart Taberner for sound advice and wise words as the book was being prepared for publication. The research for this study was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, without whose generosity it would have been impossible for me to undertake the project, and who also supported my very fruitful research trip to Berlin. Much gratitude is also due to the Association of German Studies for financial assistance with my research trip to New York Public Library. I am thankful to members of staff at the Akademie der Künste, New York Public Library and the Staatsbibliothek
