Opis

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.
