Writing the Long Nineteenth Century

Writing the Long Nineteenth Century will publish the innovative work in American literary studies that is emerging in the "long" nineteenth century (from the Revolutionary period through early modernism). It will focus on the relationship of formal and material literary production to the unprecedented circulation of people, commodities and technologies during this period, and to the profoundly unsettling ideas about political and social belonging attendant on revolutionary movements in Europe, the Caribbean and the United States. Defined by its reworking of the period, its reopening of the transnational perspectives that informed American literature in the 19th century, and its marriage of the new archival and cultural work to literary studies, the series will engage with complex networks of influence, debate, circulation, and appropriation. Writing the Long Nineteenth Century will take seriously the challenge to place the study of nineteenth-century American culture in its broader multi- and transnational contexts by seeking work that unsettles familiar cultural formations.

New World Studies

New World Studies publishes interdisciplinary research that seeks to redefine the cultural map of the Americas and to propose particularly stimulating points of departure for an emerging field. Encompassing the Caribbean as well as continental North, Central, and South America, the series books examine cultural processes within the hemisphere, taking into account the economic, demographic, and historical phenomena that shape them. Given the increasing diversity and richness of the linguistic and cultural traditions in the Americas, the need for research that privileges neither the English-speaking United States nor Spanish-speaking Latin America has never been greater. The series is designed to bring the best of this new research into an identifiable forum and to channel its results to the rapidly evolving audience for cultural studies.
