Acknowledgments
This book has taken many years to write, and I would first like to acknowledge my colleagues at the Chinese University of Hong Kong Department of English, both present and former, for their continual support. I would also like to thank my wife, Ada Fung, my sister, Kezia Gleckman, and Amie and Andrew for their confidence and encouragement over the long writing process. I appreciate the opportunities I have had to present my work in progress at international conferences over the past decade; I would single out the excellent seminars at the annual Shakespeare Association of America meetings and the warmly collegial biennial gatherings of the Asian Shakespeare Association. For all the people who have given me useful feedback and advice, I hope it has made this a better book. I am grateful to Michael Dobson and Dympna Callaghan for making the book a part of their Shakespeare Studies series. And, of course, this book would not exist without the efforts of the editors at Palgrave Macmillan, particularly Sara Crowley-Vigneau and Connie Li. I would also like to thank the Research Grants Council of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China (Project No. CUHK 444611), for providing me with
