About this book
Reviews
“The volume as a whole proves unusually elegant in conception and rewards reading straight through. A thorough and careful introduction is followed by a series of meticulously edited, carefully contextualized, frequently illustrated, and often imaginatively constructed individual case studies by a mix of scholars, which effectively showcase several possible methodologies for studying transatlantic literary culture.” (Nicola J. Watson, Victorian Studies, Vol. 60 (4), 2018)
“This collection explores nineteenth-century readers, their reading, and the invention of ‘English’ as a transnational identity. … Readers will find much to admire in these individual authors' contributions. As for the volume as a whole, it astutely assembles key terms and critical conversations in need of further analysis in relation to each other.” (Julia Hansen, Review19, nbol-19.org, July, 2017)
