Reviews

'This book is a key contribution to the larger dialogue about literature and nationalism. While the collection works to expand the context for understanding better known figures such as Martineau, Trollope, and Dickens, it also usefully illuminates the work of lesser-known travel writers such as Basil Hall and Isabella Bird. In exploring the further reaches of nineteenth-century British travel writing, the volume invites us to read it as a history of nineteenth-century cultural nationalism.' NBOL-19 'Victorianists, Atlanticists, Americanists, and general readers will find much to appreciate here both in the strategies employed by the contributors and editor, and in the archival research and fine detail.' Wordsworth Circle
