Product DescriptionDiscourses of Slavery and Abolition brings together for the first time the most important strands of current thinking on the relationship between slavery and categories of writing, oratory and visual culture in the 'long' Eighteenthcentury. The book begins by examining writing about slavery and race by both philosophers and by authors such as Aphra Behn. It considers selfrepresentation in the works of Ignatius Sancho, Olaudah Equiano, James Williams and Mary Prince. The final section reads literary and cultural texts associated with the abolition movements of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth centuries, moving beyond traditional accounts of the documents of that movement to show the importance of religious writing, children's literature and the relationship between art and abolition.About the AuthorFRANCES BOTKIN Assistant Professor of English, Towson University, Baltimore, USA DEIRDRE COLEMAN Associate Professor, Department of English, University of Sydney, Australia LEO COSTELLO Curatorial Assistant, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, USA PETER KITSON Professor of English, University of Dundee, UK DIANA PATON Lecturer in Caribbean History, University of Newcastle, UK JOHANNA M.
