Reviews

Elizabeth Jameson, Imperial Oil and Lincoln McKay Chair in American Studies, Department of History, University of Calgary:

'Jean Barman's insightful intellectual biography makes a significant contribution to scholarship on Canadian and U.S. literature, and to histories of gender, race, and region. Barman, like Constance Lindsay Skinner, writes on the frontiers of transnational histories, at a moment when North American frontiers and the U.S./Canadian borderland are emerging as fields of serious and fruitful inquiry.'
