'Ranging over several discourses and disciplines, this remarkably well-focused collection should serve as a starting point for anyone interested in the history of British responses to American democracy.' Daniel Hack, University of Michigan, USA '... Taken as a whole ... this volume grapples creditably with the complexity of transatlantic political and cultural exchanges, and adds significantly to our understanding of the societies and governmental systems of Britain and America, and of British opinion about the United States. ...' Journal of British Studies '...offers a valuable overview of the British relationship to American democracy across the period and while answering many questions it prepares the ground for further scholarship.' Journal of Transatlantic Studies '... [an]overarching interdisciplinary approach ... ensures that this collection is comfortably more than the sum of its parts. This latest volume in Ashgate's nineteenth-century transatlantic studies series should therefore be essential reading for all students and scholars wishing to further their understanding of the vitally important subject of political and cultural Atlantic exchange.'
