Acknowledgments
I am deeply grateful to all my colleagues at the Departament de Filologia Anglesa i Alemanya de la Universitat de Barcelona for their support. I single out Professor Jacqueline A. Hurtley, whom I thank for her generosity with her extensive scholarly knowledge. I also thank her for her wit and sense of humour, and for her passion for literature and life, all of which constitute a source of endless inspiration for me. I thank Dra. Ana Moya for her unremitting support, her kindness and intellectual stimulus throughout the years over which we have been working on several literature projects together, our great expectations from which I always learn. For his kindness and support, I thank Dr. Pedro Guardia.
I greatly appreciated the generosity of Professor Susana Onega, from the Universidad de Zaragoza, who shared her material on Jeanette Winterson with me. I thank Professor Chris Weedon for her kindness and her lectures on feminist theory over her stay in Barcelona in 1995. I thank Professor Fernando Galván, Professor Pilar Zozaya, Dra. Marta Segarra, and Dra. Elizabeth Russell for their insightful comments on a previous version of this work.
