For the permission to quote from manuscript material I should like to thank the Geheimes Staatsarchiv Preussischer Kulturbesitz, Berlin; the Syndics of Cambridge University Library; the Master and Fellows of Trinity College Cambridge; the Trustees of the National Library of Scotland; the British Library; the University College London Library; the archives of John Murray, Publisher, London, as well as the Bodleian Library, Oxford. Most of my research for this study was carried out during my time at Cambridge, and I should like to acknowledge the generous support I received from Corpus Christi College as well as the German Department. I am also grateful for the assistance granted by St Hilda's College, Oxford, and the University of Leeds, which has enabled me to complete this book. Conferences and seminars at the Universities of Cambridge, Warwick, Oxford, Liverpool, Sheffield and Birmingham have given me the opportunity to present some of my ideas to searching audiences, and the valuable feedback I received on all these occasions has been incorporated in the chapters of this book. My paper on 'Women and Translation in the Nineteenth Century', which helped me to develop the argument of Chapter 2, has been published in New Comparison 15 (1993). Conversations with friends and colleagues have contributed significantly to my work in a variety of ways. Without William H. Brock's open-minded guidance in interdisciplinary nineteenth-century studies I would not have embarked on this project. I should also like to thank Seán Allan, Richard Byrn, David Constantine, Christine Devine, Hernani Gutierre, Grazia Lolla, Michael McCrum and Mark Pryce for their time, their expertise and the various insights they have offered to share with me generously Gillian Beer and Peter Skrine have commented thoughtfully and have given indispensable advice for which I am extremely grateful. To Roger Paulin, I owe a great debt of thanks Page viii for his encyclopaedic knowledge, invaluable experience and acute criticism of my work as a supervisor, as well as for his unstinting encouragement throughout this project. Finally, I should like to thank the series editor, Susan Bassnett, for her patience, enthusiasm and stimulating suggestions which have helped me greatly in preparing the final manuscript. S.S.
