This study seeks to fill a major gap in the fields of
Nineteenth-Century American and British Studies by examining how
nineteenth-century intellectuals shaped and re-shaped aesthetic
traditions across the Atlantic Ocean. Special attention is paid to
a group of salient cultural concepts, such as artist-as-hero,
imagination, the picturesque, reform, simultaneity, and seriality.
Although embedded in a particular aesthetic tradition, these
concepts travel from one culture to another and are transformed
along their transatlantic journeys. The purpose of this book is to
explore the roles of these 'traveling concepts' within the realm of
transatlantic cultures and to trace their at times surprising paths
within ever-widening transnational intellectual networks.
