    The Philosophic Game: Eighteenth-Century Masquerade in German and Danish Literature and Culture A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Anne Beryl Wallen IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Rembert Hüser, Poul Houe May 2012 © Anne Beryl Wallen, 2012 Acknowledgements My studies, research and dissertation writing have been supported by several institutions, for which I must express my most sincere appreciation: the University of Minnesota, particularly for the Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship and the Graduate School Fellowship; the Department of German, Scandinavian & Dutch, particularly for the Hella Lindemeyer Mears Fellowship, the Gerhard and Janet Weiss award, and to Hella Mears and Gerhard Weiss themselves for their support; the U.S.-Denmark Fulbright Comission; the American Scandinavian Foundation; and the P.E.O. Scholars Award. I am also grateful to the University of Copenhagen Institute of Nordic Studies and Linguistics for hosting me during my Fulbright year in Copenhagen. Thanks to Lisbet Hein of Hørsholm Museum and to Ida Poulsen of the Theatre Museum in the Court Theater for generously sharing materials and knowledge with me. At the individual level, my thanks go first to my co-advisors, Rembert Hüser and Poul Houe, for sharing their experience and providing guidance over the past several years. The size of my dissertation committee has raised eyebrows, but I could not imagine having gone forward with my project without the invaluable input each of my committee members has provided. Ruth-Ellen Joeres and Richard Leppert both also served on my Master’s committee, and so deserve special thanks for their support throughout my graduate studies.
