'... beautifully written, theoretically deft and historically detailed study.' BARS Review
'Transatlantic Literary Exchanges focuses on gender, sexuality and race; categories of difference all too familiar in literary scholarship since the late twentieth century, but it strikes a successful balance between existing research and taking new perspectives on well-known terrain. Although the individual chapters deal with very different genres, subjects and cultural locations, each chapter stands on its own; the idea of intersecting various transatlantic crossings with such categories of difference ultimately provides coherence and productive, sometimes unexpected synergies.'
