Transatlantic Romanticism: An Anthology of British, American, and Canadian Literature 1767–1867

Abstract

Transatlantic Romanticism offers canonical and non-canonical texts from American, British, and Canadian Romantic writers, meeting the demand for a coherent and flexible transatlantic Romantic reader. It offers a range of representative materials by the most central, as well as non-canonical, North American and British writers and thinkers. Thematic groupings and companion readings, strategically integrated throughout the book, provide lively and illuminating views of the major literary, cultural, and political debates of the transatlantic Romantic century. Accessible and engaging introductions and headnotes lead to an even greater appreciation and understanding of the prose and poetry of the transatlantic Romantic era.
