"Each chapter delves deeply into a topic fascinating in its own right and engages fluently and persuasively with recent scholarship on a remarkable range of primary materials before returning to the central claim that collective memory is, in its many forms, a defining feature of Scottish writing in the British Atlantic world in the early nineteenth century. In its scope and achievement, this study is an important contribution to our ongoing project of rethinking - indeed, opening - the borders of British Romanticism.--Gerald Egan, California State University ""The BARS Review"" McNeil adroitly decentres the time and space of ""Romanticism"" by placing Scottish literature of the long nineteenth century in dialogue with British imperial projects in North America, Africa and the West Indies.-- ""Leith Davis, Simon Fraser University"" McNeil's study is a salient and timely addition to current scholarship focusing on Scottish writing during the Romantic period and adds much to ongoing debates on the widening and rethinking of traditional approaches to Romanticism.--Amy Wilcockson, University of Nottingham ""Scottish Literary Review"" Scottish Romanticism and Collective Memory in the British Atlantic is an explorative work in the best sense, opening up a vast amount of material and laying out threads that lay the ground for further explorations.--Ina Ferris, University of Ottawa ""The Wordsworth Circle"""
