Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments I would like to thank Daniel Albright, Christopher Braider, Thomas Connolly, John Hamilton, Judith Ryan, Peter Sachs, Daniel Selcer, Henri Zerner, and the two anonymous readers for Cornell University Press for their insights on how I might make this a better book. Björn Kühnicke, Eckart Marchand, and Brady Bowman helped me to parse Warburg’s inimitable German and to put it into English dress. As I completed the manuscript, David Damrosch’s advice and support were simply essential.

But beyond all this, the love and sustenance of family and friends these last years leave me without words.

Martin Warnke with Claudia Brink (Berlin: Akademie Verlag, 2000). All translations are mine unless otherwise indicated. Memory, Metaphor, and Aby Warburg’s Atlas of Images ...
