An essential resource for teaching 19th-century print culture in Transatlantic StudiesThe 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 through a transatlantic lens. Weaving in strategies from innovative teaching shaped by the digital humanities, the collection also looks ahead to the future of this growing field.
