"Sweeping in its scope and imaginative in its approach, this collection challenges contemporary scholars to revisit one of the most influential works in the American canon and to recognize that mere national borders never have and never can curtail the flow of ideas and culture. The essays illuminate the ways that even seemingly innocuous adaptations or translations shaped the resonance of Uncle Tom's Cabin for audiences around the world. The study should be a model for how to approach the impact of translation and adaptation across time and in different cultural contexts." - Heather S. Nathans, Tufts University"[W]ill appeal to scholars with an interest in the long reach of the nineteenth century across the globe and into the present day." — ALH Online Review, XIX.1
