Transatlantic Literary Studies: A Reader
Editat de Susan Manning, Andrew Tayloren Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2007 – vârsta de la 18 până la 22 ani
In their introduction, the editors suggest ways in which the transatlantic paradigm offers renewed potential for literary study that for too long has been tied to the ideological and political requirements of the nation-state. The Reader provides accessible, annotated examples of theoretical frameworks that provoke further scholarly inquiry and important works of literary criticism that demonstrate different possibilities of comparative analysis. This important compilation represents and promotes the conceptualization of American culture within the broader context of transatlantic activity.

Recenzii
Here is a Reader that culls the most important, brilliant and groundbreaking pieces of literary criticism on a comparatist approach to American Studies and offers them to readers in one binding. It is a significant, timely critical achievement, and is certain to be praised by students and scholars alike. -- Joel Pace, University of Wisconsin Recent events in the global political arena have led to a revaluation in the study of the Atlantic literatures and cultures. Manning and Taylor's Reader brings together a wide range of criticism, from Rene Wellek to Wai Chee Dimock, to show that our understanding of those literatures and cultures is freshly derived yet firmly rooted. The book has a substantial introductory chapter, and is shrewdly organised into six theoretical and thematic groups, each given a perceptive prologue. It will be required reading for years to come. -- Robert Lawson-Peebles, University of Exeter ...a timely and invaluable resource for students and scholars researching in the broad field of Transatlantic Studies...this is far more than a simple compendium: it is a book which aims actively to participate in contemporary debates. -- James Peacock, Keele University American Studies Today The book should certainly be used as a core text for undergraduate and postgraduate courses on transatlantic studies and American studies. It is also highly relevant to Canadian studies. -- Faye Hammill, University of Strathclyde British Journal of Canadian Studies Here is a Reader that culls the most important, brilliant and groundbreaking pieces of literary criticism on a comparatist approach to American Studies and offers them to readers in one binding.
