In Memory of Rosa Maria Bollettieri Bosinelli

There are many people we wish to thank and acknowledge, but we owe a special debt to Rosa Maria Bollettieri Bosinelli who conceived the original plan for this book. It is only thanks to her uniquely creative mind, energy, and enthusiasm that the project was made possible. In her own academic work, she provided a model of interdisciplinary scholarship at its best and we consider ourselves lucky to be among the scholars who benefited from her support and friendship. Rosa Maria is no longer with us but her spirit lives on in these pages. We dedicate this book to her memory.

Rosa Maria came up with the idea for the Joyces Silences panels at the 2013 Zurich Workshop. She then proceeded, in her all-inclusive fashion, to round up presenters and to co-organize, with Serenella Zanotti, a memorable three-session panel, Silencing Joyce: Omission, Absence, Translation and Beyond, at the 24th International James Joyce Symposium held at the University of Utrecht in 2014. We would like to thank the conference organizers, Onno Kosters, David Pascoe, Peter de Voogd, and Tim Conley, for the opportunity to set up the sessions and for their kind and friendly hospitality. Special thanks go to Alistair Stead, Richard Brown, and Murray Beja for acting as panel respondents.

We wish to thank Elizabeth Bonapfel, Luca Crispi, Tim Martin, Patrick ONeill, Jean-Michel Rabat, Paola Pugliatti, Sam Whitsitt, and Romana Zacchi for their comments on the initial submissions. They greatly contributed to the quality of the final essays.

Our sincere thanks are due to the editorial staff of Bloomsbury Publishing, especially to David Avital and Clara Herberg for their invaluable help and support, to the production team, Merv Honeywood and Lauren Crisp, and to our superb copy-editor, Ronnie Hanna.

We would like to thank the Mondadori Foundation, particularly archivist Annalisa Cavazzuti, and the RCS foundation for granting permission to Sara Sullam to quote from their materials. We also wish to acknowledge Franca Ruggieri, editor of Joyces Poesie e prose, for permission to use three poems from Musica da camera, translated by Alfredo Guiliani. (Wydawnictwo Literackie, publisher of the Polish translation of Chamber Music, has not responded to our requests for permissions). Finally, we acknowledge Brill/Rodopi for permission to reuse a passage in Jolanta Wawrzyckas chapter that appeared in Reading Joycean Temporalities (2018).

Our deep gratitude goes to the authors whose original work has made this project possible, as well as to Jon Tso and Erika Mihlycsa for their help with indexing.

Jolanta Wawrzycka wishes to thank Radford Universitys Dean Katherine Hawkins and Chair Rosemary Guruswamy for grant and travel support to attend the 2014 James Joyce Symposium in Utrecht. And her family, Jon and Alexander Tso, for keeping it simple.
