Acknowledgements

It’s a little difficult to know where to start and almost impossible to work out where to stop. This book has been a long time coming and has only come to fruition through the support of my colleagues at Liverpool Hope University who shared their guidance when it was needed most. For their unstinting encouragement, I cannot thank Dr Louise Wilson and Dr Hannah Berry enough. However, I would particularly like to thank Professors Lesley Jeffries and Dan McIntyre of the University of Huddersfield, who continued to believe in me even when it was difficult to believe in myself.

No small amount of appreciation goes to the editors of this book series, Professors Joanna Gavins and Sonia Zyngier for their incredible patience and good will.
