This book has been a culmination of extensive research that has been intellectually challenging and fulfilling in many ways; it has also set me on my second phase of research in the exciting area of Digital Humanities- working projects that are a direct outcome of my findings here. But of course a project of this length and magnitude could not be possible without the support, encouragement, engagement and love from so many people along the way. It would be impossible for me to name every one of them so a sincere thank-you to all those friends and family who were a part of this. I will mention just a few names whose support was always present in my work in visible ways. My mentor Professor Judith Plotz, Professor Emeritus of The George Washington University will always be an inspiration in more ways than one.
