w Behind every book is a journey and this work is no exception. This journey—
m
r
fo from the archives to the publication—was not a solitary one. It took the help

y
an of communities and individuals to make this book happen. I owe deep grati-

n
i tude to all of them.
d
e
uc This work would not have been possible without generous financial and
d
o
pr institutional support for the project I have received over the years. Most of the
e
r
e writing for this manuscript took place in Madison, Wisconsin, in the spring
b

ot of 2018 and at Notre Dame, Indiana, in the late summer and fall of 2018. In
n

ay Madison, I had the honor of holding a UW System Fellowship at the Institute
M

d. for Research in the Humanities, with full access to the world-class scholarly,
e
v
er interlocutory, and librarian resources. In Indiana, I was a faculty fellow at the
s
e
r Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study. The residential and contemplative
s
t
gh nature of that fellowship fostered a phenomenal environment of deliberation,
i
r
l focus, and ardor while also giving this project much-needed interdisciplinary
