"The recently developed field of transatlantic literary studies has encouraged scholars
to move beyond national literatures towards an examination of communications between
Britain and the Americas. The true extent and importance of these material and literary
exchanges is only just beginning to be discovered. This collection of original essays
explores the transatlantic literary imagination during the key period from 1660 to
1830: from the colonization of the Americas to the formative decades following political
separation between the nations. Contributions from leading scholars from both sides
of the Atlantic bring a variety of approaches and methods to bear on both familiar
and undiscovered texts. Revealing how literary genres were borrowed and readapted
to a different context, the volume offers an index of the larger literary influences
going backwards and forwards across the ocean"--Provided by publisher
