Emily Dickinson's poetry is known and read worldwide but to date
there have been no studies of her reception and influence outside
America. This collection of essays brings together international
research on her reception abroad including translations,
circulation and the responses of private and professional readers
to her poetry in different countries. The contributors address key
translations of individual poems and lyric sequences; Dickinson's
influence on other writers, poets and culture more broadly;
biographical constructions of Dickinson as a poet; the political
cultural and linguistic contexts of translations; and adaptations
into other media. It will appeal to all those interested in the
international reception of Dickinson and nineteenth-century
American literature more widely.>
Although the significance of transatlantic currents of influence on
slavery and abolition in the Americas has received substantial
scholarly attention, the focus has tended to be largely on the
British transatlantic, or on the effects of American racial
politics on the emergence of Irish American political identity in
the US. The specifics of Ireland's role as a transnational hub of
anti-slavery literary and political activity, and as deeply
imbricated in debates around slavery and freedom, are often
overlooked. This collection points to the particularity and
significance of Ireland's place in nineteenth-century exchanges
around slavery and anti-slavery. Importantly, it foregrounds the
context of empire - Ireland was both one of the 'home' nations of
the UK, on many levels deeply complicit in British imperialism, and
a space of emergent anti-colonial radicalism, bourgeois
nationalism, and significant literary opportunity for Black
abolitionist writers - as a key mediator of the ways in which the
conceptual and practical responses to slavery and anti-slavery took
shape in the Irish context. Moving beyond the transatlantic model
often used to position debates around slavery in the Americas, it
incorporates discussion around campaigns to abolish slavery within
the empire, opening up the possibility of wider comparative
discussions of slavery and anti-slavery around the Indian Ocean and
the African continent. It also emphasizes the plurality of
positions in play across class, political, racial and national
lines, and the ways in which those positions shifted in response to
changing social, cultural and economic conditions. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Slavery & Abolition:
A Journal of Slave and Post-Slave Studies.

This international collection of critical and creative work offers
compelling responses to the specifics of 'tradition' and 'place' in
the face of the formal and thematic challenges of the modern at
particular moments in the aesthetic development of American
literature. Maintaining a Place operates also as a way of thinking
about the legacy of key figures within Irish cultural debates about
America in honouring an esteemed colleague, Ron Callan, for his
unique contribution to the field of American Studies in Ireland.
Pointing to the ongoing transatlantic influence exerted by the
American poetic tradition on contemporary writers, and responding
to current developments in literary studies by meshing the field's
critical and creative strains the collection includes new poetry by
established poets working in Ireland and the US. This volume will
appeal to all readers with an interest in modern American
literature and its continuing influence on transatlantic thinking
and creative practices.
