Her generosity will always be remembered. I am immensely grateful to William St Clair for his enthusiasm and encouragement, as well as for inspiring com- ments. Among the many other people without whom this book would not have been possible, I am particularly indebted to Thomas Rischbeck, Richard Temperley, Matthew Rubery, David Hewitt, Michael Rossington, Julian Daw- son and Wolfgang Wendt. To my parents, Eva-Gabriele Bautz and Thomas Wendt, I am deeply thankful for their unwavering love and support. To Meriol and John Penn I am profoundly grateful for helping me in more ways than I can express. To my grandmother Annemarie Bautz I am greatly indebted for her enthusiasm about the project, joie de vivre and care. Among the many libraries whose resources I have used, I wish to thank especially the Literary and Philosophical Society of Newcastle upon Tyne, the Robinson Library at Newcastle University and the National Library of Scotland. My thanks also go to colleagues at Continuum: Colleen Coalter, Sophie Cox, Joanna Kramer, Anna Sandeman and Anya Wilson.
