Kidnapped from Galway, Ireland, as a young girl, shipped to Barbados, and forced to work the land alongside African slaves, Cot Daley's life has been shaped by injustice. In this stunning debut novel, Kate McCafferty re-creates, through Cot's story, the history of the more than fifty thousand Irish who were sold as indentured servants to Caribbean plantation owners during the seventeenth century. As Cot tells her story-the brutal journey to Barbados, the harrowing years of fieldwork on the sugarcane plantations, her marriage to an African slave and rebel leader, and the fate of her children—her testimony reveals an exceptional woman's astonishing life.

Transatlantic literary studies have provided important new perspectives on North American, British and Irish literature. They have led to a revision of literary history and the idea of a national literature. They have changed the perception of the Anglo-American literary market and its many processes of transatlantic production, distribution, reception and criticism. Rather than dwelling on comparisons or engaging with the notion of ‘influence,’ transatlantic literary studies seek to understand North American, British and Irish literature as linked with each other by virtue of multi-layered historical and cultural ties and pay special attention to the many refractions and mutual interferences that have characterized these traditions since colonial times. This handbook brings together articles that summarize some of the crucial transatlantic concepts, debates and topics. The contributions contained in this volume examine periods in literary and cultural history, literary movements, individual authors as well as genres from a transatlantic perspective, combining theoretical insight with textual analysis.

The Case of Mary Gilmore tells the true story of an alleged fugitive slave from Maryland, Mary Gilmore who was arrested in Philadelphia when she was a teenager for being a runaway slave. Her parents were impoverished Irish immigrants. Her father had abandoned the family. Her mother had died an alcoholic in a Philadelphia hospital. As an infant, Mary had been taken in and raised by a prosperous African American family who owned a bakery in Philadelphia, which, perhaps explains why slave catchers attempted to enslave her. Nowhere is any mention made of Mary Gilmore's having any physical characteristics attributed to African Americans. Rather, she was part of an African American family, was therefore assumed to be African American, and thus became a target for kidnapping and enslavement by slave catchers in the 1800's. The mere fact that she was an Irish immigrant and was taken in as a child by an African American family in 1835 is a story in and of itself. The fact that she was then kidnapped and tried as a runaway slave is astounding and was the story of its time. Through years of research in newspapers, historical institutions, and libraries, finally Mary Gilmore's story has come to light.
