British Abolitionism and the Rhetoric of Sensibility argues that
participants in the late eighteenth-century slavery debate
developed a distinct sentimental rhetoric, using the language of
the heart to powerful effect in the most important political and
humanitarian battle of the time. Examining both familiar and
unfamiliar texts, including poetry, novels, journalism, and
political writing, Carey shows that salve-owners and abolitionists
alike made strategic use of the rhetoric of sensibility in the hope
of influencing a reading public thoroughly immersed in the 'cult of
feeling'.
