Atlantic Studies is a multidisciplinary Routledge quarterly
that publishes cutting edge research in literature, history,
and cultural studies. For a decade, the journal has explored
the Atlantic as a conceptual, historical, and cultural space,
seeking transnational, transhistorical, and transdisciplinary
intersections. Starting with volume 11 (2014), the journal
will address global fows and perspectives beyond its current
emphasis on the Atlantic as a closed or self-contained space.
Thus, the journal seeks articles that explicitly speak to global
fows, seeing the Atlantic as part of wider networks, a space
of exchange, and an expanding paradigm beyond the limits
of its own geography. We envision bridging artifcial national,
regional, and continental divides and examining entangled
histories. The new perspective challenges critical orthodoxies
that have drawn sharp lines between the experiences and
representations of the Atlantic world and wider global contexts.
