The first volume of critical texts to define the field of
Transatlantic Literary Studies This Reader provides 42 exemplary
readings that map the theoretical and literary aspects of this
growing cross-disciplinary subject area. In a substantial
Introduction to the volume, leading experts Susan Manning and
Andrew Taylor suggest ways in which the transatlantic model can be
most effectively used within literary studies. The readings that
follow are organised around key ideas - the nation and
cosmopolitanism, theories and practice of comparative literature,
postcolonialism/imperialism, translation, style and genre, and
travel - and provide accessible, annotated examples that
demonstrate the different possibilities of comparative analysis.
The book represents and promotes an understanding of British,
European and American literary culture within a broader framework
of transatlantic activity. Key Features *Defines the field of
