Mary Shelley: Life of William Godwin Project AcknowledgementsGrateful acknowledgment is due to Lord Abinger, for his permission to transcribe and publish manuscripts from the Abinger Shelley-Godwin Collection deposited at the Bodleian Library, Oxford, in a HYPERTEXT edition of Mary Shelley, Life of William Godwin. This is a collaborative project of the School of English, and the Fisher Library Scholarly Text and Imaging Service, of the University of Sydney. Dr Bruce Barker-Benfield of the Bodleian Library has been at all times a courteous and well-informed guide to the Collection, and has encouraged and advised the editorial team at the University of Sydney, Judith Barbour, Creagh Cole, Gerard Goggin, Margaret Harris, and Clara Tuite, throughout the preparation of the edition. Acknowledgments are also due to the Perkins Library of Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, who lent us the Abinger MS microfilm reels; the National Library of Australia; the British Library, London. The project was funded in part with the aid of Small Grants from the Australian Research Council to Professor Margaret A Harrris and Dr Judith Barbour, in 1992 and 1998. Special thanks are due to Dr Peter Otto, at University of Melbourne, who participated in the project at its initial phase, and in its development into the mounting of an electronic edition. My thanks are also due to the Principal and Fellows of St Hilda's College, Oxford, at which I was a summer visitor in 1992 when I began the task of transcribing the manuscripts in the Bodleian Library. On the many subsequent visits to Oxford and London to work on the edition, Janet Wilson was my generous host. Among colleagues in Australia and overseas from whose published work on Mary Shelley and William Godwin, conference papers, and stimulating conversation, I have received ample encouragement and intellectual profit, I thank: Graham Allen, Betty Bennett, Marilyn Butler, Will Christie, Pamela Clemit, Deirdre Coleman, Syndy Conger, Nora Crook, Stuart Curran, Paula Feldman, Peter Hutchings, Mary Jacobus, Mark Philp, William St Clair, and Claire Tomalin. Published work in the field of Shelley-Godwin studies of Anne K. Mellor, Marion Kingston Stocking and David Kingston Stocking, and Emily W. Sunstein, also elicits my thanks. Finally, my fellow "Romantic" Deirdre Coleman must be gratefully acknowledged here for the unfailing generosity of her commitment to the not-always Romantic work of teaching, supervising and research in the 21st-century academy.
