| Summary: | Hutchings (English, U. of Northern British Columbia, Canada) and Wright (English, Dalhousie U., Canada) present nine essays that explore anti-hegemonic discourses of gender, race, and cultural difference in transatlantic literary exchanges in the years 1790 to 1870. Topics include the framing of North America as the site of a gendered threat to domestic security and women's health, destabilization of sexuality in transatlantic writings, representations of indigenous shamanism by Anglophone writers, Frederick Douglass and the transatlantic abolitionist movement in the mid-19th century, the mobility of agents in adventure novels as a challenge to consolidating notions of nationhood and British imperial power, and colonial environmental-determinist claims about the psychological effects of Niagara Falls on local indigenous nations.
