The research for this dissertation was made possible thanks to the generous support of the DAAD, the American Council on Germany, the Central European History Society, and the Graduate School at the University of Texas at Austin. I also received valuable feedback on the project from the participants of the Transatlantic Doctoral Seminar at the German Historical Institute; in particular, James Brophy and Kenneth Ledford were especially supportive and generous with their time. The Institute for Historical Studies offered a wonderful forum for presenting part of this work at an early stage as well, for which I would like to thank the IHS staff and its then-director, Julie Hardwick. Without the guidance and friendship of Susan Boettcher, who first taught me German paleography among many other things, this work might never have gotten off the ground.
