"...a welcome, and specific, intervention....an impressively wide range of often neglected primary and archival texts.--Scott Henkel, University of Wyoming ""ALH Online Review, Series XIII"" In the wake of recent world-turning instances of public assembly and occupation from Cairo to St. Louis, the Paris Commune has once again declared its political urgency. Michelle Coghlan's remarkable and virtually unprecedented study--methodologically rich, archivally vast, textually acute--explores the Commune's U.S. afterlives, a longue dur�e of transatlantic feeling, with far-reaching and field-changing results. I've been waiting a long time for such a book.--Eric Lott, Graduate Center, City University of New York Michelle Coghlan's thoroughly researched and beautifully written study will greatly interest specialists in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American literature and culture.--Dean de la Motte, Salve Regina University ""Review 19"" This is a work that is both collectively illuminating and subjectively empowering.--Michael J. Collins, University of Kent ""American Nineteenth Century History 18:3"" Skillfully researched and beautifully written, Sensational Internationalism broadens the contours of American cultural and political memory by bringing to life the profound reverberations produced in the States by what was on one level just a very brief moment in someone else's history: the Paris Commune. Michelle Coghlan's stunning archive lends her account breadth and authority missing in those that would minimize those effects or limit them to a solely labor phenomenon.--Kristin Ross, New York University Written with enviable clarity and style, Sensational Internationalism brings to life a history that by its end we are convinced should never be forgotten.--Scott McCracken, Queen Mary University London ""Textual Practice 32:2"""
