This collection offers a comparative literary history of migration in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, exploring the experiences of migrants from various backgrounds and the aesthetic and rhetorical frameworks used to represent their experiences. It highlights the globalism of the period and emphasizes the connections between migrant experiences and the emergence of modernity. The essays traverse the globe, revealing the experiences of Native Americans, soldiers, Turkish refugees, and Scottish settlers, among others. They explore the aesthetic and rhetorical frameworks used to represent migrant experiences during a time when imperial expansion and technological developments made the fortunes of some migrants and made exiles out of others. These frameworks continue to influence the narratives we tell ourselves about migration today and were crucial in producing a distinctively modern subjectivity in which mobility and rootlessness have become normative. The collection offers a comparative framework for understanding the modern history of migration and the aesthetics of mobility, foregrounds interdisciplinary debates about belonging, rights, and citizenship, demonstrates how mobility unsettles the national, cultural, racialized, and gendered frames we often use to organize literary and historical study, and brings together scholars from the US and Europe to explore the connections between migrant experiences and the emergence of modernity.
