This comprehensive volume emerges as the result of a collaborative endeavor, aimed at assembling diverse perspectives from the Old World on the field of American Studies. The contributors, prominent Americanists hailing from Spanish academia, firmly advocate for the significance of approaching American Studies from a multidisciplinary and inclusive standpoint. This volume serves as a testament to the current state of research in American Studies in Spain, which holds a pivotal position of importance in the transatlantic understanding and appreciation of the field. Spanning a wide range of themes, from Romanticism to Postmodernism, from the human to the post-human, from the Salem witchcraft trials to the Holocaust, from the Other to the Zombie, from fiction to history, from African-American slavery to Native-American reservations, from Spanish Unamunian philosophy to Whitmanesque poetry—to name just a few of the topics explored within these pages—this entire volume is firmly rooted in a transatlantic vision and dialogue, which has gained immense significance in the aftermath of the so-called transatlantic turn.
In essence, this book presents the critical perspective of an expert outsider, capable of offering a somewhat distinct yet complementary viewpoint, which has the potential to enhance the broader understanding and appreciation of American Studies.
