Transatlantic literary studies have provided important new
perspectives on North American, British and Irish literature. They
have led to a revision of literary history and the idea of a
national literature. They have changed the perception of the
Anglo-American literary market and its many processes of
transatlantic production, distribution, reception and criticism.
Rather than dwelling on comparisons or engaging with the notion of
'influence,' transatlantic literary studies seek to understand
North American, British and Irish literature as linked with each
other by virtue of multi-layered historical and cultural ties and
pay special attention to the many refractions and mutual
interferences that have characterized these traditions since
colonial times. This handbook brings together articles that
summarize some of the crucial transatlantic concepts, debates and
topics. The contributions contained in this volume examine periods
in literary and cultural history, literary movements, individual
authors as well as genres from a transatlantic perspective,
combining theoretical insight with textual analysis.
