Reviews

Beautifully written, lucid, and theoretically sophisticated, Philip Shaw's study of Romantic military art is a consistently illuminating account of an enormously significant but often overlooked subject. Christopher Rovee, Stanford University, USA '... beautifully written, theoretically deft and historically detailed study.' BARS Review 'Transatlantic Literary Exchanges focuses on gender, sexuality and race; categories of difference all too familiar in literary scholarship since the late twentieth century, but it strikes a successful balance between existing research and taking new perspectives on well-known terrain. Although the individual chapters deal with very different genres, subjects and cultural locations, each chapter stands on its own; the idea of intersecting various transatlantic crossings with such categories of difference ultimately provides coherence and productive, sometimes unexpected synergies.'
