The five co-authored chapters offer a multiplicity of case studies that engage critically with claims for agency in early America, interrogating and probing methodologies of the material and tackling the ways in which worldviews, concepts, and analytic methods exerted agency in the past. Chapter case studies collectively reflect on the consequences of critical engagement within agency in American Aesop collections and mathematical primers, Joseph Mountain and Robert Wedderburn's life writing, early American archive work including censored sixteenth-century pirate narratives and letterbooks, and more. \u003c\/span\u003eThe conclusion expresses the strong belief that networked thinking and collaborative writing have the potential to resituate early American studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIlka Brasch \u003c\/strong\u003eis Lecturer at Leibniz University Hannover, Germany. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElena Furlanetto \u003c\/strong\u003eis Guest Professor of British Cultural Studies at the Technical University of Dortmund, Germany. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26 December 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032348029\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51223542300812,"sku":"9783032348029","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783032348029","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
