In the four or five years this book has been gestating, I have benefited from a great many conversations, books, interviews, comments, and feed- back too numerous to mention. Some contributions are so central, however, that I am pleased to acknowledge them explicitly here. First, I thank those scholars who gave generously of their time in agreeing to have an interview with me and for trusting me to han- dle their comments with fidelity and integrity. These include Eyal Amiran, Jay David Bolter, Tanya Clement, Gregory Crane, Sharon Daniel, Philip J. Ethington, Alice Gambrell, Caren Kaplan, Mat- thew Kirschenbaum, Timothy Lenoir, Alan Liu, David Lloyd, Tara McPherson, Todd S. Presner, Stephen Ramsey, Rita Raley, and Jeffrey Schnapp. Kenneth Knoespel and Ian Bogost at the School for Litera- ture, Culture and Communication at Georgia Tech provided useful information on their program, its aspirations and priorities. At King’s College London, I am especially indebted to Willard McCarty for ar- ranging my visit there, as well as to Harold Short, Stephen Baxter, xi xii Acknowledgments Arthur Burns, Hugh Denard, Charlotte Roueche, and Jane Winters for their willingness to allow me to interview them. At the Office of Digital Humanities at the National Endowment for the Humanities, I appreciate the help of Brett Bobley, Jason Rhody, and Jennifer Serventi in talking with me about their programs. I am especially grateful to Fred Brandes for allowing me to photocopy many of his books and browse through the rest while researching the archi- val material discussed in chapter 5. He also read through the manuscript and offered several corrections. I warmly remember and deeply appreciate his gracious hospitality, and I thank him for his generosity. I am indebted to the National Cryptologic Museum librarians for their help and encourage- ment, and I thank them for access to one of the largest intact telegraph code book collections in the United States. The collection was originally assem- bled when telegraphy was still alive (although long past its heyday), and the National Cryptologic Museum has worked to keep it as a valuable historical archive. I also thank John McVey, who has spent untold hours searching for telegraph code books that have been digitized, primarily in Internet Archive and Google Books, and has created bibliographic records and information for them. He has also compiled a valuable “Resources” page and other assets. I, along with anyone interested in this topic, am indebted to him for his fine and meticulous work. I am grateful as well to Nicholas Gessler for access to his “Things That Think” code book collection and for conversations, infor- mation, and explanations that make him my most treasured confidante. I am indebted to Laura Otis, Marjorie Luesebrink, and Nicholas Gessler for reading drafts and giving valuable feedback. John Johnston, one of the readers of the manuscript for the University of Chicago Press, offered cru- cial guidance and useful insights that helped enormously in rethinking the book’s structure; also invaluable were the second reader’s insights and strong endorsement. I owe a large debt of thanks to George Roupe for his meticu- lous copyediting; this book would be much more error-pone if it had not been for his help. I am also grateful to Alan Thomas of the University of Chicago Press for his continuing guidance and strong support, and to the staff for their good work on this book. In addition, I thank the National Endowment for the Humanities for support during summer 2009, when I participated in the “Broadening the Humanities” institute led by Tara McPherson and Steve Anderson at the University of Southern California. During the institute I began work on a website to accompany chapter 5 that will have over one hundred code books in digital form with the functionality to do keyword searches, send and re- Acknowledgments xiii ceive coded “telegrams” via e-mail, and other resources. George Helfand, then on the staff at USC, helped set up the database for the project, and Zach Blas helped with the website design. I am grateful to them both, and to Steve and Tara for their discussions about the project. I thank Deborah Jakubs, the Rita DiGiallonardo Holloway University Librarian and Vice Provost for Library Affairs, and Winston Atkins at the Duke University Library for assis- tance in scanning the telegraph code books in the Gessler collection, which will be part of the data repository at the website. A prototype of the website may be found at http://vectorsdev.usc.edu/nehvectors/hayles/site/database .html. I owe a special debt of gratitude to Allen Beye Riddell, who coauthored the coda to chapter 8 and who did much of the programming on the telegraph code book website. In addition, he also did the research for and authored the website for chapter 8 on Mark Z. Danielewski’s Only Revolutions. His tireless work on this project has made it much richer and more extensive than it otherwise would have been. I am grateful to Steven Hall for permission to use images from The Raw Shark Texts in chapter 7, as well as for his willingness to read that chapter and offer comments. I am indebted to Mark Z. Danielewski for his friend- ship and feedback on chapter 8 on Only Revolutions, as well as for permission to reprint the images that appear in chapter 8 from Only Revolutions.

    I , 'Textual Space and Metafiction in Mark Z Danielewski' s House ofLeaves' Simon Barton BA (Hons) MA by Research University of Central Lancashire December 2006 uclanSc Student Declaration Concurrent registration for two or more academic awards I declare that while registered as a candidate for the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another award of the University or other academic or professional institution Material submitted for another award I declare that no material contained in the thesis has been used in any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. Signature of Candidate Type of Award Department CLASS ABSTRACT The thesis presents an argument that through employing metafictional techniques, experimentation with textual and graphic space and allusions to hypertextual devices, Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves seeks to remind the reader of the presence of the book in print fiction. Danielewski dispenses with traditional textual formats in order to provoke the reader to realise the presence of the physical book in their hands. This is mirrored in the narrative as two of the main characters both obtain a copy of the very same book that the reader is holding. The author employs metafictional characteristics such as characters that acknowledge their fictional status whilst writing a book within a book. The first chapter of the thesis examines the potential of metatexts and criticism in the twenty-first century and a questioning of its continued relevance. Danielewski challenges textual space that potentially distances the reader from the narrative. There is an overwhelming amount of blank space in the text where there could have been narrative.

    Note: Original spelling is retained for this document and all that follow. Appendix 1: Primary source and background documents Document No. 1: Germany's Declaration of War with Russia, August 1, 1914 Presented by the German Ambassador to St. Petersburg The Imperial German Government have used every effort since the beginning of the crisis to bring about a peaceful settlement. In compliance with a wish expressed to him by His Majesty the Emperor of Russia, the German Emperor had undertaken, in concert with Great Britain, the part of mediator between the Cabinets of Vienna and St. Petersburg; but Russia, without waiting for any result, proceeded to a general mobilisation of her forces both on land and sea. In consequence of this threatening step, which was not justified by any military proceedings on the part of Germany, the German Empire was faced by a grave and imminent danger. If the German Government had failed to guard against this peril, they would have compromised the safety and the very existence of Germany. The German Government were, therefore, obliged to make representations to the Government of His Majesty the Emperor of All the Russias and to insist upon a cessation of the aforesaid military acts. Russia having refused to comply with this demand, and having shown by this refusal that her action was directed against Germany, I have the honour, on the instructions of my Government, to inform your Excellency as follows: His Majesty the Emperor, my august Sovereign, in the name of the German Empire, accepts the challenge, and considers himself at war with Russia.

Rose Enterprises 27 Surve Service Premises, Sonawala X Road, Goregaon (E), Mumbai 400 063. ii Editorial “A people without knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots” - Marcus Garvey. We as teachers and facilitators encourage our learners to gain knowledge. We try our very best to transfer our knowledge to our learners so that they may gain insights into the world around them, that this insight may enable them to acquire knowledge of their past history and culture, and give them opportunities to shape the future. This student journal is so named “ Cognitio” because in the wider sense of the term it means, the act of knowing or knowledge, and may be interpreted in a social or cultural sense to describe the emergent development of knowledge and concepts within a group that culminate in both thought and action. This year for the first time the students of St Andrew’s Junior college will go beyond the teaching-learning experience and venture into research. The topic for this year is on “World War I”. Students from different streams, researched on the impact of the Great War on poetry, society, on human psyche, technology and on life as a whole. By way of this journal, students can not only acquire knowledge but also share the knowledge they acquire.
