Reimagining the Transatlantic, 1780-1890

By Joselyn M. Almeida

Book Overview

Proposing the pan-Atlantic as a critical model that extends the geographical and linguistic boundaries of transatlantic and circumatlantic scholarship, Almeida uncovers the shared cultural discourses that connects discourses of discovery, conquest, enslavement and liberation. Her analysis of works by, among others, William Robertson, Ottobah Cugoano, Jos Blanco White, Juan Manzano and Charles Darwin expands our understanding of Romantic and Victorian Britain's relationship with Latin America and the Caribbean.
