Beauvoir Simone - Diary of a Philosophy Student: Volume 2, 1928-29

Acknowledgments

Barbara Klaw writes: I applaud the numerous individuals who helped in the production of this annotated translation. First, I thank Sylvie Le Bon de Beauvoir for her kind encouragement in my continued work on Beauvoir's 19271930 diary. I am grateful to the staff in the Manuscript Room of the Bibliothque Nationale in Paris and especially to Mauricette Berne for facilitating my study of the manuscripts. To Margaret Simons and Marybeth Timmermann, I am indebted for comments on earlier versions of my translation and annotation. For their help in finding references for the works or places that Beauvoir cited, I acknowledge Madeleine Leveau-Fernandez, Tamara F. O'Callaghan, and Richard Shryock. The Interlibrary Loan Department of Northern Kentucky University deserves praise for its success in making requested translations available for use. I am beholden to Annlaug Bjrsns, Alan Hutchison, Nadia Ibrahim, Katherine C. Kurk, Tove Pettersen, and Gerald Prince for their moral support. For the funding of my continued work on this manuscript for many years, I express gratitude to the American Philosophical Society, the National Endowment for the Humanities, Northern Kentucky University, and the Southern Regional Education Board.

Margaret Simons writes: I would like to congratulate Barbara Klaw on her tremendous achievement and to thank her once again for so generously sharing her draft transcription of Beauvoir's 1927 diary back in 1994, effectively launching the collaborative project of the Beauvoir Series. I would like to extend my warmest thanks to Sylvie Le Bon de Beauvoir, coeditor of the Beauvoir Series, for her unwavering support and encouragement, and to our longtime editor, Joan Catapano, without whom we would not have dared begin. I am very grateful to Anne-Solange Noble, at Editions Gallimard, for her invaluable advice and assistance; to Laurie Matheson, at the University of Illinois Press, for her continued guidance and encouragement; to Mauricette Berne, for her guidance in accessing the manuscripts at the Bibliothque Nationale; to Marybeth Timmermann, for her assistance in preparing the completed volume for publication; and to Pam Decoteau and Cindi Pearlman, for their helpful suggestions as I was working on my introduction. This volume would not have been possible without the generous support of a Collaborative Research Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, an independent federal agency; a Matching Funds grant from the Illinois Board of Higher Education allocated by the Graduate School of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville; and a translation grant from the French Ministry of Culture.
