Acknowledgements

The editors would like to thank AHRC, UK, for funding the initial project behind the book via a Networking Grant (Reference: AH/T005734/1). The University of Exeter provided us with valuable administrative support and helped us organise workshops in Cambridge and Trondheim. Churchill College, Cambridge, and the Churchill Archives Centre, also facilitated the workshop in Cambridge. We would like to thank the Archives Centre’s Director Allen Packwood and Senior Archivist Andrew Riley for hosting us and helping us organise the event. Gary Love would like to thank NTNU for including him in the university’s ‘Outstanding Academic Fellows Programme’ for 2017–2021, which provided additional funds for the workshop in Trondheim. The participants at all of the workshops made valuable contributions to the debate and increased our knowledge of the subject matter, which helped us refine our ideas for this book.

At Cambridge University Press, we would like to thank our editor Liz Friend-Smith not only for commissioning the book but also for supporting us through the entire publication process. Furthermore, she found two excellent readers whose comments have helped us improve the initial draft in important ways. We are grateful to Richard Batten for making the index and to Straive for copyediting the manuscript. Thanks also to Lene, Oliver, Kristine, Sven, and Tristan.
