Bringing together sensation writing and transatlantic studies, this collection makes a convincing case for the symbiotic relationship between literary works on both sides of the Atlantic. The evolution of the genre is traced from early sentimental and gothic fiction through works by authors such as Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Wilkie Collins, George Lippard and George Thompson, concluding with a reassessment of realist and domestic fiction in the context of transatlantic sensationalism.
