Transatlantic studies, especially during the enlightenment period,
is of increasing critical interest amongst scholars. But was there
an Atlantic Enlightenment? This interdisciplinary collection
harnesses the work of some of the most prominent figures in the
fields of literature; intellectual, cultural, and social history;
geography; and political science to examine the emergence of the
Atlantic as one of the key conceptual paradigms of eighteenth
century studies. In this spirit, the contributors offer new
insights into the conditions that generated a major transatlantic
genre of writing; addressing questions of race, political economy,
and the transmission of Enlightenment ideas in literary, political,
historical, and religious contexts. Whether examining John
Witherspoon's evolution from Calvinist theologian to Revolutionary
theorist, or Adam Smith's reception in the antebellum United
States, the essays remind us that the transatlantic traffic in
ideas moved from west to east, from east to west, and in patterns
that both complicate and enrich what we thought we knew about the
vectors of transmission in this pivotal period.
