Acknowledgements
I would like to particularly thank my two reviewers of the book’s first version submitted to Brill Publishers. Their precise comments and inspiring remarks have led me to make the second, final version of the book much more focused on the ‘international context’ in which Anglophone and Polish travel writing is implicated. And to Masja Horn, of Brill, for help and support throughout the process of publishing this book.
I am also grateful and indebted to Peter Foulds from whom nothing escapes and who proof-read the first version of this book, Dr Kirk Palmer for his careful edition of this book’s final version, and to Prof. Roman Krzywy for his consultations in the area of Latin and Greek terminology.
