The recently developed field of transatlantic literary studies has
encouraged scholars to move beyond national literatures towards an
examination of communications between Britain and the Americas. The
true extent and importance of these material and literary exchanges
is only just beginning to be discovered. This collection of
original essays explores the transatlantic literary imagination
during the key period from 1660 to 1830: from the colonization of
the Americas to the formative decades following political
separation between the nations. Contributions from leading scholars
from both sides of the Atlantic bring a variety of approaches and
methods to bear on both familiar and undiscovered texts. Revealing
how literary genres were borrowed and readapted to a different
context, the volume offers an index of the larger literary
influences going backwards and forwards across the ocean.
