"The Culture of English Antislavery" is an intervention in the
lively international debate of recent years about the relation of
anti-slavery in Britain to the deep changes of the period of the
Industrial Revolution. It offers an account of the overall shape of
organized anti-slavery from its beginnings in the 1780s and
provides new perspectives from which to assess contending
interpretations of antislavery. The evolution of antislavery is
portrayed as a series of changing alliances of different and
sometimes conflicting religious traditions. The successive
alliances of abolitionists are analyzed through the concept of a
culture of reform embracing ideology, organizational and propaganda
forms and the more intimate connections and rituals which reformers
used to reinforce their identity and solidarity. The result is a
definition of the middle class "reform mentality" which links the
antislavery work of reformers to social improvement and to
campaigns for transatlantic reform. The analysis is further
grounded in short narratives about reform in different communities
in different moments. This book should be of interest to students
and teachers of social history and cultural studies.
