This series will publish exciting interventions in American literary and cultural studies from the post-Revolutionary moment to the aesthetic and political upheavals of the early twentieth century. It will focus on work that explores the place of the United States within a transnational American geography, as well as those other powerful networks of exchange and affiliation - class, race, gender and sexuality - that have often worked to contest the very idea of the United States itself. We are keen, too, to expand the idea of 'the literary' by encouraging research that addresses non-canonical discursive forms, including sermons, theatrical performances, periodical journalism, broadsides and philosophical tracts. The series will be at the forefront of new work that opens up and extends our understanding of the historical importance of the period, as well as its ongoing relevance to our contemporary moment.
