An essential resource for teaching 19th-century print culture in Transatlantic Studies
The 18 chapters in this book outline conceptual approaches to the field and provide practical resources for teaching, ranging from ideas for individual class sessions to full syllabi and curricular frameworks.
The book is divided into 5 key sections: Curricular Histories and Key Trends; Organising Curriculum through Transatlantic Lenses; Teaching Transatlantic Figures; Teaching Genres in Transatlantic Context; and Envisioning Digital Transatlanticism. Individual chapters from experts in the field range from reconceptualising entire courses to revisiting individual texts, authors, and genres in a transatlantic context. Weaving in strategies from innovative teaching shaped by the digital humanities, the collection also looks ahead to the future of this growing field.
A dedicated Teaching Transatlanticism website accompanies the book.
Key Features:
Essays address both conceptual and practical issues
Classroom accounts address multiple genres, issues, and media
Reflections on real-world teaching contexts are blended with scholarly analysis of key issues in the field today
The specially designed project website supports the book and invites continued conversations through a moderated discussion space and submission venue for readers’ own teaching materials
