    A broad, comparative and trans-Atlantic approach to the Age of Revolutions Cutting across disciplines and linguistic borders, this book highlights revolutionary movements in Europe, the United States, and the Caribbean between the mid-eighteenth century and the revolutions of 1848. The chapters in the book adopt transnational approaches to revolution to show how political uprisings often reverberated far beyond the borders of the states directly affected - in the form of narratives, metaphors, translations, letters, pamphlets and dialogues, as well as physical objects. Elizabeth Amann is Professor of Literary Studies at Ghent University Michael Boyden is a chair professor of English at Radboud University Nijmegen

    Traces authors' attitudes toward US economic expansionism through their fictional allusions to internationally-traded commodities Offering an interdisciplinary study of references to internationally-traded commodities in US fiction, Consuming Empire assembles an integrated geopolitical analysis of Americans' material, gendered and aesthetic experiences of empire at the turn of the twentieth century. Examining allusions to contested goods like cochineal, cotton, oranges, fur, gold, pearls, porcelain and wheat, Consuming Empire reveals a linked global imagination among authors who were often directly or indirectly critical of US imperial ambitions. Furthermore, Consuming Empire considers the commodification of art itself, interpreting writers' allusions to paintings, sculptures and artists as self-aware acknowledgements of their own complicity in global capitalism. As Consuming Empire demonstrates, literary texts have long trained consumers to imagine their relationship to the world through the things they own. Heather Wayne is a teacher of English and independent scholar living in Massachusetts. Her research focuses on nineteenth-century US literature, material culture, feminism, visual culture, empire and global history.

  • af Maria Cristina Fumagalli

    The first volume devoted to Derek Walcott's lifelong engagement with the visual arts Walcott's lifelong concern with painting and painters deeply inflected his aesthetics and politics. Walcott's interventions on the relationship between Caribbean and colonial history have been thoroughly scrutinised, but arguably he was also keen to address and (re)write an art history of which, paraphrasing a line from Omeros, the Caribbean 'too' was/is 'capable'. Contextualising and putting in conversation Walcott's published and unpublished writing, drawings and paintings with specific artists from the Caribbean, Europe, South and North America, Derek Walcott's Painters recalibrates and sharpens our understanding of Walcott's articulation of his own politics and poetics, and of the Caribbean's contributions to Atlantic and global culture. Maria Cristina Fumagalli is Professor in Literature at the University of Essex. Her publications include On the Edge: Writing the Border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic (2015; 2018), Caribbean Perspectives on Modernity: Returning Medusa's Gaze (2009) and The Flight of the Vernacular: Seamus Heaney, Derek Walcott and the Impress of Dante (2001).
