"Discourses 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" eighteenth century. The book begins by
examining writing about slavery and race by both philosophers and
by authors such as Aphra Behn. It considers self-representation 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.
