I wish to express my gratitude towards the Graduiertenkolleg Codierung von Gewalt im medialen Wandel for giving me the opportunity to work with a number of amazing individuals and exchange ideas across disciplinary boundaries, and also for providing the financial means to make travelling in order to do research for this project possible. Special thanks goes out to the helpful staff at Gloucestershire Archives. Above all, I am greatly indebted to Prof. Sabine Schülting for providing the warm intellectual home in which this project could thrive, and for blending munificent support with astute criticism. I am most grateful to have benefited from her supervision.
