Description

Explore the powerful connection between emotion and politics in British Abolitionism and the Rhetoric of Sensibility. This scholarly work by Carey examines how participants in the late eighteenth-century slavery debate used the language of the heart to influence a public immersed in the cult of feeling. By analyzing a wide range of texts, including poetry, novels, journalism, and political writing, the book reveals how both slave-owners and abolitionists strategically used sentimental rhetoric during one of the most significant humanitarian battles of the era. As part of the Palgrave Studies in the Enlightenment, Romanticism and Cultures of Print, this text provides deep insight into the role of sentiment in shaping political discourse from 1760 to 1807.
