Between 1750 and 1820, tides of revolution swept the Atlantic
world. From the new industrial towns of Great Britain to the
plantations of Haiti, they heralded both the rise of democratic
nationalism and the subsequent surge of imperial reaction. In
Imagining the British Atlantic after the American Revolution, nine
essays consider these revolutionary transformations from a variety
of literary, visual, and historical perspectives. On topics ranging
from painting and poetry to prison reform, the essays challenge and
complicate our understandings of revolution and reaction within the
transatlantic imagination. Drawing on examples from different local
and regional contexts, they demonstrate the many remarkably local
ways that revolution and empire were experienced in London,
Pennsylvania, Pitcairn Island, and points in between. Published by
the University of Toronto Press in association with the UCLA Center
for Seventeenth- and Eighteenth-Century Studies and the William
Andrews Clark Memorial Library.
