Using the American Revolution as the fulcrum of his argument, Giles describes how the impulse to go beyond conventions of British culture was crucial in the establishment of a distinct identity for American literature. Similarly, he explains the consolidation of British cultural identity partly as a response to the need to suppress the memory and consequences of defeat in the American revolutionary wars.Giles ranges over neglected American writers such as Mather Byles and the Connecticut Wits as well as better-known figures like Franklin, Jefferson, Irving, and Hawthorne. He reads their texts alongside those of British authors such as Pope, Richardson, Equiano, Austen, and Trollope. Taking issue with more established utopian narratives of American literature, Transatlantic Insurrections analyzes how elements of blasphemous, burlesque humor entered into the making of the subject. 606 $aAmerican literature$xEnglish influences 606 $aAmerican literature$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$yRevolutionary period, 1775-1783$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$y1783-1850$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish literature$xAppreciation$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xCivilization$xBritish influences 607 $aEnglish-speaking countries$xIntellectual life$y18th century 607 $aEnglish-speaking countries$xIntellectual life$y19th century 607 $aUnited States$xRelations$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$xRelations$zUnited States 610 $aAmerican History. 610 $aAmerican Studies. 610 $aCultural Studies. 610 $aLiterature. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xEnglish influences. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xAppreciation 676 $a810.9 700 $aGiles$b Paul$0482188 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808039703321 996 $aTransatlantic insurrections$93957743 997 $aUNINA
