Transa t l ant ic Women Becoming Moder n: New Ninet eent h-Centu ry Studies Series Editors Sarah Way Sherman Rohan McWilliam Department of English Anglia Ruskin University University of New Hampshire Cambridge, England Janet Aikins Yount Janet Polasky Department of English Department of History University of New Hampshire University of New Hampshire This book series maps the complexity of historical change and assesses the formation of ideas, movements, and institutions crucial to our own time by publishing books that examine the emergence of modernity in North America and Europe. Set primarily but not exclusively in the nineteenth centur y, the series shifts attention from modernity’s twentieth-century forms to its earlier moments of uncertain and often disputed construction. Seeking books of inter- est to scholars on both sides of the Atlantic, it thereby encourages the expansion of nineteenth-century studies and the exploration of more global patterns of development.
