TransAtlantic
In 1919 Emily Ehrlich watches as two young airmen, Alcock and Brown, emerge from the carnage of World War One to pilot the very first non-stop transatlantic flight from Newfoundland to the west of Ireland. In 1845 Frederick Douglass, a black American slave, lands in Ireland to champion ideas of democracy and freedom, only to find a famine unfurling at his feet. And in 1998 Senator George Mitchell criss-crosses the ocean in search of an elusive Irish peace. Stitching these stories intricately together, Colum McCann sets out to explore the fine line between what is real and what is imagined, and the tangled skein of connections that make up our lives.

Dangerous Pilgrimages
Since before Plato, the Old World has been inventing and refining its views and images of the New. And since explorers first called it into being, the New World has been looking back to the Old, borrowing its traditions to write new rules and distil truths that came to be self-evident. Within this cultural exchange between America and Europe, there has been what Malcolm Bradbury calls the "flourishing traffic in fancy, fantasy, dream and myth". And if there has always been a gap between image and reality, it has widened into rare entertainment - above all in the novel, a form that flourished as a result of the great transatlantic encounter. Malcolm Bradbury, who has been writing about variou...
Transatlantic Print Culture, 1880-1940
Building on recent work on Victorian print culture and the turn toward material historical research in modernist studies, this collection extends the frontiers of scholarship on the 'Atlantic scene' of publishing, exploring new ways of grappling with the rapidly changing universe of print at the turn of the twentieth century.
Trans Atlantic Historical Solidarity
Excerpt from Trans Atlantic Historical Solidarity: Lectures Delivered Before the University of Oxford in Easter and Trinity Terms 1913 'There is apparently much truth in the belief that the wonderful progress of the United States, as well as the character of the people, are the results of natural selection; for the more energetic, restless, and courageous men from all parts of Europe have emigrated during the last ten or twelve generations to that great country, and have there succeeded best. Looking to the distant future, I do not think that the Rev. Mr. Zincke takes an exaggerated view when he says: "All other series of events - as that which resulted in the culture of mind in Greece, and ...
Trans-Atlantic Passenger Ships
Excerpt from Trans-Atlantic Passenger Ships: Past and Present He acknowledges with gratitude the assistance rendered by Mr. Stephen Gmelin and Mr. Grant S. Taylor in the matter of supplying some of the exact dates upon which certain ves sels were scrapped. This phase of the compilation required much laborious research. In fact, it has convinced me that it is almost impossible to obtain in full the necessary data regarding the final disposition of every transatlantic ship. Included in these expressions of appreciation must be also those addressed to Mr. Fred C. Poyser of the Nautical Photo Agency in England for the generous permission given for the use of reproductions of ship photographs. It...
Transatlantic Literary Studies
This reader brings together a wide range of material that engages with the theoretical and literary possibilities of the transatlantic as an arena for textual and intellectual exchange. In their introduction to the volume, the editors suggest ways in which the transatlantic paradigm offers renewed possibilities for literary study that for too long has been tied to the ideological and political requirements of the nation state. The reader is designed to provide accessible, annotated examples of theoretical frameworks that might provoke further work in the field, as well as important pieces of literary criticism that demonstrate different possibilities of comparative analysis. The book aims to represent and promote the conceptualisation of American culture within a broader framework of transatlantic activity.
