'A highly enjoyable and scholarly gathering of essays exploring some of Wordsworth's multiple American afterlives. This book reveals with new clarity an absorbing story of transpositions and transformations, an extraordinarily multifarious influence felt throughout a culture, from Whitman and Dickinson, Thoreau and William James, to cowboy stories and gothic tales. Whatever generalisations we may have entertained before about Wordsworth's place in nineteenth century America, we shall have to think again now.' - Seamus Perry, Balliol College, Oxford, UK
'This volume is a valuable addition to the growing body of work on the transatlantic dimensions of Romanticism...Pace and Scott can justly claim to have provided 'a more thorough examination of nineteenth-century America's Wordsworth than has ever been undertaken'' - Robin Jarvis, University of the West of England
'Wordsworth in American Literary Culture... provide[s] an important and much needed reassessment of transatlantic influence narratives by offering alternative ways of thinking about the impact of Wordsworth's literary power in American culture... In collecting scholars on either side of the Atlantic and specialists in American literature and British Romanticism, the editors of this book not only initiate an important transatlantic dialogue that encourages academics to investigate Wordsworth's broad legacy in American Romanticism, but also offer further possibilities for re-energizing and re-directing transatlantic studies.' - Sohui Lee, Symbiosis: A Journal of Anglo-American Literary Relations
