Reviews

The Materials of Exchange between Britain and North East America, 1750-1900, significantly expands our understanding of transatlantic cultural exchange between the U.S. and Britain, both by challenging the U.S.-centeredness of North American Studies and by extending its consideration of cross-cultural transatlantic influence well into the nineteenth century. This book inaugurates a new critical vantage point for reinterpreting the cultural connections between the two countries. It is especially attractive for the way it situates literary readings firmly within material culture contexts, its ample illustrations offering readers a more tactile experience of the goods and ideas being discussed.Phillip H. Round, University of Iowa, USA
