Acknowledgments

The writing of this book was supported by Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. I thank Andrea Kern for serving as my host and for providing an intellectually stimulating environment during my research stay at the University of Leipzig. I also benefited from the research leave granted by my home institution, Temple University, during the academic year 2015–2016.

In the final stages of the manuscript revisions, I benefited greatly from the very helpful comments of the anonymous reviewers of Cambridge University Press and the comments of Jason Cutmore who carefully copyedited the manuscript. If there are any typos or stylistic mistakes remaining, they must be my own doing.

Finally, I owe my gratitude to my husband, our daughter, and my parents for their love and support. I could not have completed this project without them.
