# Edinburgh Studies In Transatlantic Literatures

The Edinburgh Studies In Transatlantic Literatures is a scholarly book series focusing on the intersection of regional and cultural history and literary criticism. This academic novel series examines how writers engage with global spheres to shape their creative output and professional identities. Through a focus on movements and periods of transatlantic exchange, the series analyzes the relationship between imaginative writing and professional activism.

The first volume, Atlantic Citizens, explores the lives of six antebellum writers including Walt Whitman, Frederick Douglass, and Margaret Fuller. This work of history and criticism details how these figures utilized journalism, education, and public lecturing to influence transatlantic culture. By practicing Atlantic citizenship, these authors achieved a critical distance from the United States, allowing them to catalyze the growth of American literature through their international experiences.
