In this major re-evaluation of Transatlantic cultural exchange in the long 19th century Malchow traces the evolution of the Anglo-American relationship through studies of language, theatrical performance, race and tourism. Exhaustively researched, the book provides an incisive analysis of the roots of Anglophobia and Anglophilia and of an eventual harmonious rivalry.

Through its in-depth analysis of theatre, race, tourism, the American West, and the surprising power of language, this book adds new levels of complexity to a familiar story.
