Читать книгу Recognition and Ethics in World Literature - Vincent van Bever Donker - Страница 4

There are a number of people without whom this work would not have materialised, and whom I would like thank.

This book is the culmination of my graduate research at the University of Oxford (DPhil) and the University of the Western Cape (MA). As such, I remain grateful for the critical input of my research supervisors into those original projects, namely Elleke Boehmer and Cheryl-Ann Michael. I would also like to thank the editors of the Studies in World Literature series, Janet Wilson and Chris Ringrose, for their patience with me in preparing this manuscript and for their valuable comments and insight.

There have been numerous colleagues, friends and family members who have supported me along the way and who have contributed through discussion, debate, and commenting on various drafts. In particular, I would like to thank the academic communities of the University of Oxford, the University of the Western Cape (UWC), and the Centre for Humanities Research, UWC. More specifically, I would like to name Steve Whitla, Scott Teal, Nisha Manocha, Charlotta Salmi, Stephanie Yorke, Ankhi Mukherjee, Deborah Rosario, Neal McEwan, and Maurits van Bever Donker. I am ever grateful to my wife, Machilu, for her continual encouragement and unswerving support. Needless to say, any errors remain my own.

This project draws on the research that was enabled by funding from the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission and the Mandela Rhodes Foundation, without whose generosity it would not have been possible.
