Acknowledgments
This book would not have been possible without the inexhaustible support of family, friends and colleagues. I am especially grateful to Dr Stephanie Lambert and Lucy Potter, for editorial support as well as galvanising conversations; Dr Emilie Morin, who opened this area of study to me with efforts both Herculean and more generous than I deserved; Dr Mark Nixon, for guidance with the archives and publication; my PhD examiners, Dr Ulrika Maude and Professor Hugh Haughton, whose feedback helped immeasurably with the work leading into the present volume; Professor Peter Lamarque, for attentive guidance on philosophical matters; Dr Adam Winstanley, who offered kind feedback on my work and helpful archival pointers; and Alexa Ratzlaff for advanced French lessons. My editors at Palgrave, Vicky Bates and series editor Tomas René, have been unwaveringly attentive and patient, in a spirit shared by the feedback from my peer-reviewers. I thank the Humanities Research Centre and Department of English and Related Literature at the University of York for providing funds and research space without which I could not have undertaken this project. I am also thankful to
