ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This book began life within a UK Arts and Humanities Research Councilfunded comparative research project at University College London’s Centre for Transnational History. This was a collaborative project to investigate ‘The American Way of Life: Images of the United States in Nineteenth-Century Europe and Latin America’ to which I contributed as a postdoctoral fellow between 2005 and 2008. Genuinely collaborative projects in the humanities are still relatively unusual; I consider myself exceedingly lucky to have benefitted from the enormous intellectual stimulation, challenges and support that doing historical research and writing collaboratively brings. My first and greatest vote of thanks must go to my colleagues on this project: the principal investigators, Nicola Miller, Axel Körner and Adam I.P. Smith, and then PhD students Maike Thier and Natalia Bas. I also thank the AHRC for the financial assistance to complete the research for this project.
