“…Work from the following contributors was foundational in thinking about nineteenth‐century poetry as fundamentally transatlantic, and each, by exploring the boundaries and hierarchies of national identity also thinks through boundaries and hierarchies of gender or racial equality. Mary Loeffelholz explores Stedman’s recasting of American imperial projects in the Caribbean (Shelley becomes Christopher Columbus) in “Edmund Clarence Stedman’s Black Atlantic,”Max Cavitch writes about a British woman’s “trans‐settlement” to America in response to Walt Whitman’s poetry in “Audience Terminable and Interminable: Anne Gilchrist, Walt Whitman, and the Achievement of Disinhibited Reading.”John Kerkering thinks about the problem of autonomy and the “politics of location” (the south) in “American Renaissance Poetry and the Topos of Positionality: Genius Mundi and Genius Loci in Walt Whitman and William Gilmore Simms,” and Eliza Richards explores the “translation, parody, and fabrication of Poe” (159) in “Outsourcing “The Raven”: Retroactive Origins.” These readings alter and expand our understanding of Victorian poetry to encompass the various and varied American readers and critics who consumed and constituted it.…”

This essay discusses recent movements in poetics that highlight the circulation and mediation of poems and poetic discourse across the Atlantic, the translation and adaptation of poetry from other languages, and the influence of comparative linguistics on concepts of English poetry. Nineteenth‐century poets in England and America invented genres, histories, and traditions that became cemented by 20th century reading practices. If 19th‐century poetry is a space of possibility and questioning, we might rethink the upheavals of Anglo‐American modernism as well as rethink our narrow critical focus on the Anglophone world.

The Cambridge History of American Poetry offers a comprehensive exploration of the development of American poetic traditions from their beginnings until the end of the twentieth century. Bringing together the insights of fifty distinguished scholars, this literary history emphasizes the complex roles that poetry has played in American cultural and intellectual life, detailing the variety of ways in which both public and private forms of poetry have met the needs of different communities at different times.
