Books in the Edinburgh Critical Studies in Atlantic Literatures and Cultures series

American Travel Literature analyses US tourist writings about Italy from 1824 to 1862 to explain what roles transatlantic travel, aesthetic response, and the genre of tourist writing played in the formation of the United States.

In refocusing attention on the Paris Commune as a key event in American political and cultural memory, 'Sensational Internationalism' radically changes our understanding of the relationship between France and the United States in the long nineteenth century.

A broad, comparative and trans-Atlantic approach to the Age of Revolutions Cutting across disciplines and linguistic borders, this book highlights revolutionary movements in Europe, the United States, and the Caribbean between the mid-eighteenth century and the revolutions of 1848. The chapters in the book adopt transnational approaches to revolution to show how political uprisings often reverberated far beyond the borders of the states directly affected - in the form of narratives, metaphors, translations, letters, pamphlets and dialogues, as well as physical objects.
