The Influence of Atlantic Studies on American Literary Scholarship
View through CrossRef
This article traces the important paradigm shift from Atlantic history to Atlantic studies. It then identifies the creative tensions generated by a three-dimensional conception of cis-Atlantic, trans-Atlantic, and circum-Atlantic perspectivism. With this new hermeneutic climate in mind, it turns to a discussion of recent U.S. literary scholarship, above all in terms of a select number of exemplars that self-consciously acknowledge and depart from the pathbreaking work of Paul Gilroy, Joseph Roach, and a number of historians of slavery and the African diaspora, such as Marcus Rediker, Peter Linebaugh, David Brion Davis, and Orlando Patterson.
