Analyzing real, speculative, and imaginary schemes of migration to and from Britain, this book addresses three interrelated movements: between France and Britain after the French Revolution, between Britain and North America also after the Revolution, and between West Africa and Britain in the years leading to the Revolution.

This work aims to illuminate the nexus between imaginative literature and geography in William Wordsworth's poetry and prose. It shows that 18th-century social and political interest groups contested spaces through maps, geographical commentaries and travel literature; and that by configuring "utopian" landscapes, Wordsworth himself participated in social and political controversies in post-French revolutionary England.
