Thematic groupings and companion readings illuminate the major literary, cultural, and historical events of the transatlantic Romantic era. Features: thematically related readings are collected into "Transatlantic Exchanges" that frame key debates about revolutionary republicanism, slavery and abolition, women's rights, and more; contemporary responses accompany key selections, showcasing their transatlantic influence; lively section introductions and author headnotes further contextualize the literature."--BOOK JACKET.
