Further Adventures on the Journey to the West was made possible in part by an award from the James P. Geiss and Margaret Y. Hsu Foundation.

Additional support was provided by the William H. Matheson Trust for the Liselotte Dieckmann Professorship in Comparative Literature at Washington University in St. Louis.

Funding was also provided by the Robert B. Heilman Endowment for Books in the Humanities, established through a generous bequest from the distinguished scholar who served as chair of the University of Washington English Department from 1948 to 1971.
