Acknowledgments
•
With great pleasure I thank the following institutions for their kind and gener-
ous support in the course of my research: DAAD, Cusanuswerk— bischöfliche
Studienförderung e.V., University of Heidelberg-C ambridge Programme,
AHRC, St. John’s College Benefactor Scholarships, The Cambridge European
Trust, The Jebb Fund, The Kurt Hahn Trust, The Fondation Hardt.
The support of the Cambridge Classics Faculty allowed me to attend many
a conference. I have presented parts of my Lucan project at research seminars
and conferences at the universities of Basel, Bordeaux, Cambridge, Liverpool,
Oxford, Rostock, Virginia, Warwick, and Würzburg and have at these occa-
sions greatly benefited from the comments made by Matthew Leigh, Chris
Kraus, Shadi Bartsch, Sylvie Franchet d’Esperéy, Christine Walde, Bruce Gib-
son, Tony Woodman, and Thomas Baier. I also wish to thank Glenn W. Most
and Christiane Reitz for their inspirational teaching at Heidelberg, as well as
Philip Hardie and John Henderson at Cambridge. The latter has directed my
PhD thesis, from which this book stems, toward its completion during three
years with much patience, diligence, and encouragement and has been the ideal
Doktorvater. My thanks to him. I also extend my thanks to Emily Gowers and
Stephen Harrison, who have acted as my PhD examiners.
Elaine Fantham has given me access to forthcoming material and kindly
read my entire manuscript, and her wise comments have often spurred more
than she could ever have imagined, while Michael Reeve’s and the late John A.
Crook’s astute criticism has saved me from many an error. John A. Crook has
also kindly provided translations of the Epitaphium Lucani and the Argumenta
Lucani. Philip Hardie has offered generous comments and has made available
viii    •    Acknowledgments
excerpts from his forthcoming book on Fama,1 and Susanna Morton Braund
has ever so kindly given me permission to use her translation of Lucan—i t has
stood as model throughout. De Gruyter has kindly given me permission to
reuse material from my chapters “Lucan’s Epic Body,” in Lucan im 21. Jahrhun-
dert, edited by Ch. Walde (Munich: K. G. Saur, 2005), 295– 312, and “ . . . und
es bewegt sich doch— der Automatismus des abgehackten Gliedes in Lukan” in
Lucan between Epic Tradition and Aesthetic Innovation, edited by Ch. Reitz and
N. Hömke (Berlin: De Gruyter, 2010), 175–1 90. I am also grateful to the Musée
Fabre de Montpellier, for granting me the right to reproduce Gericault’s paint-
ing on the jacket of this book. Particular thanks go to Charles Guerin for his
patient and repeated help and cultural diplomacy in this matter.
I am most indebted to the librarians at the Cambridge Classical Library,
Stephen Howe and Lyn Bailey, for their splendid cooperation and support. In
addition I have received further bibliographical help with hunting down rare
continental items from Andreas Bartholomä, Antonia Ruppel, and especially
Cornelia Vetter. Inge and Abed Sai have been the most generous of all hosts
during my time in Britain, and so has Jesus Agustin Badillo- Corona in Mexico.
My parents, who have continually offered their love and support, end this list.
I dedicate this work to my mother and the memory of my father, who left us
when I had only just finished this project.
