Zusatztext 'Reimagining the Transatlantic! 1780-1890 is an important and impressive study. In a series of deft triangulations across a century! three languages and three continents! Almeida-Beveridge substantiates her argument for a pan-Atlantic approach to literary! political and economic commerce during a crucial period of nation formation and international encounter.

Susan Manning! University of Edinburgh! UK 'There is seemingly no important work of Atlantic scholarship that [Almeida] does not discuss intelligently...

This impressive study has set an agenda for further work yet to be done.' The Wordsworth Circle 'Almeida has offered an elegantly written and important piece of 'recovery' criticism.
