Becoming Modern: Studies in the Long Nineteenth Century

This transnational series shifts attention from modernity’s twentieth- and twenty-first-century forms to its earlier moments of uncertain and often disputed construction. Focused on the literature, visual arts, and culture of the nineteenth-century Atlantic world, projects in the series explore the rapid social, political, and technological changes that accompanied modernity. Extensive in scope, Becoming Modern publishes projects that locate modernity in unexpected times and places and amongst neglected constellations of people, institutions, and ideas.
