Reviews
A Baker & Taylor Academic Essentials Title in Area/Ethnic Studies: Black Studies outside the U.S. 'Emphasizing circulation and creolization in the Atlantic, this welcome collection explores the African presence in Romantic literature, culture, and interpretation. Essays on poetry, the stage, racism, exploration of Africa, boxing, single mothers, female beauty, rebellion, holiday festivals, and exiled British loyalists, examine the varied populations and cultures slavery forged. Polemical and critical, these essays connect Liverpool, Kingston, London, Nova Scotia, and Senegal.' Roxann Wheeler, The Ohio State University, USA 'The value of this new addition to the growing body of work on this subject lies in its insistence that emergence and structural dilemmas of British Romanticism, its ideology and political crises, were a direct product of economic and cultural Atlantic networks.' Wordsworth Circle 'Youngquist's collection is timely not just because it builds on an important trend in the field of Romanticism, continuing to remind us that any history of the era, literary or otherwise, must deal with the question of race, but also because our understanding of our own era is incomplete without a deep awareness of the legacy of Romanticism and its complex articulations of blackness.' Romantic Textualities '...this collection delivers a wonderful variety of incisive essays essential to the remaking of the Romantic canon and its criticism.' BARS Review
