Reading Lu Xun Through Carl Jung By Carolyn Brown

collections during the projects’ later stages. My debt is especially deep to the former Librarian of Congress, James H. Billington, for granting me research space in the Kluge Center after I retired as its director. My thanks also to all the wonderful Kluge Center staff, who facilitated my research at every turn. Many scholars at the Center greatly enriched my thinking, Jeffrey Moser, Manuel Castells, and especially Tobie Meyer-Fong. My deep appreciation also goes to the staff of the Asian Division, especially the chief Shao Dongfang, whose generosity and wisdom invariably exceeded all expectations. Thanks are also due to the chief of the Library’s African and Middle Eastern Division, Mary Jane Deeb and her staff, who offered special accommodations, and to the Collections Access, Loan and Management Division for rapidly and cheerfully delivering research materials. I am indebted to the Jung Society of Washington, DC, for use of its library. Several colleagues read drafts of the manuscript and offered suggestions, and for this I owe great thanks to James Hollis, Tara-Marie Linné, Peng Guoxiang, and Yü Ying-shih. I am especially indebted to the sharp eyes and generous spirit of Du Xiaoya, my wonderfully overqualified research assistant. My thanks also to the anonymous reviewers of the manuscript for their helpful suggestions and to Cambria Press for their speedy replies, excellent advice, and great patience.

I would particularly like to thank those who were there at the beginning and persevered with me until the end, my dear friend R. Victoria Arana, who read the earliest versions as a member of First Draft Club and edited with great care the near-final version of the entire manuscript; and to my sister Judith Hamer, who read early versions and proof-read at the end. My children Christopher Leslie Brown and Michael Arthur Brown gave unstinting support even when it appeared that this work might never come to fruition. Finally, I owe deep gratitude to my husband and intellectual companion, Timothy Eastman, for our endless intellectual conversations as the book unfolded, his critical acumen and editorial eye, and unstinting support in all of its multitudinous forms as we lived and breathed this project together
