At the turn of the nineteenth century, writers arguing for the
abolition of the slave trade and the emancipation of those in
bondage used the language of sentiment and the political ideals of
the Enlightenment to make their case. This collection investigates
the rhetorical features and political complexities of the culture
of sentimentality as it grappled with the material realities of
transatlantic slavery. Are the politics of sentimental
representation progressive or conservative? What dynamics are in
play at the site of suffering? What is the relationship of the
spectator to the spectacle of the body in pain? The contributors
take up these and related questions in essays that examine poetry,
plays, petitions, treatises and life-writing that engaged with
contemporary debates about abolition.
