America and the Long 19th Century

America and the Long 19th Century will publish innovative work in American literary studies from the revolutionary movements of the late 18th century through the early years of modernism at the turn of the 20th century. The series will focus on the relationship of formal and material literary production to the dynamic circulation of people, commodities, and technologies. By linking new archival and cultural research to literary studies, the series will feature works that engage with complex networks of influence, exchange, and appropriation. It will foreground the profoundly generative ideas about political and social life– animated as it was by racial, gender, and class formations–that emerged from the revolutionary movements and shifting geographies of the period. America and the Long 19th Century places the study of 19th–century American culture in its broader multi- and transnational contexts by publishing work that unsettles familiar cultural formations, including the presumptive stability of American literature itself.

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.
