Description

Explore the historical connection between the transatlantic book trade and the slave trade in this academic study from Oxford University Press. Slavery and the Making of Early American Libraries examines how early American libraries functioned at the intersection of two major branches of commerce between 1731 and 1814. This work demonstrates how profits generated from slavery were reinvested into the purchase of imported British books. It provides evidence that the colonial book market was shaped by the specific demands of slave owners seeking metropolitan cultural capital. By looking at the high costs associated with participating in London cultural life during the eighteenth century, this book offers a new perspective on the economic and social drivers of the colonial era. Ideal for students, historians, and researchers, this text provides a detailed look at the relationship between political thought, British literature, and the economic realities of early America. It bridges the gap between the study of commerce and the history of intellectual life in the Atlantic world.
