Eve Tavor Bannet explores some of the remarkable stories about the
Atlantic world that shaped Britons' and Americans' perceptions of
that world. These stories about women, servants, the poor and the
dispossessed were frequently rewritten or reframed by editors and
printers in America and Britain for changing audiences, times and
circumstances. Bannet shows how they were read by examining what
contemporaries said about them and did with them; in doing so, she
reveals the creatively dynamic and unstable character of
transatlantic print culture. Stories include the 'other' Robinson
Crusoe and works by Penelope Aubin, Rowlandson, Chetwood, Tyler,
Kimber, Richardson, Gronniosaw, Equiano, Cugoano Marrant, Samson
Occom, Mackenzie and Pratt.
