The first full-length historical study of pre-abolition black
British writing, this book challenges established narratives of
eighteenth-century black history that focus almost exclusively on
slavery and abolition. Ryan Hanley expands our perspectives to
encompass the often neglected but important black writers of the
time, and highlights their contribution to politics, culture, and
the arts. He considers the lives and works of contemporary black
literary celebrities alongside largely forgotten evangelical
authors and political radicals to uncover how they came to produce
such diverse and powerful work. By navigating the social,
religious, political and professional networks that surrounded
these authors and their writing, he also reveals that black
intellectuals were never confined to the peripheries of British
culture. From the decks of Royal Navy ships to the drawing rooms of
country houses, from the pub to the pulpit, black writers, and the
work they produced, helped to build modern Britain.
