Description

Explore the complex meanings of slavery in the eighteenth century with this scholarly work from Routledge. This book examines how audiences in Great Britain understood the term 'slavery' to encompass much more than the transatlantic slave trade. It looks at the various physical and metaphysical conditions that shaped the British imagination during this period. Through an analysis of literary representations, the text covers a wide range of subjects, including tales of Barbary captivity and the practices of the Ottoman Empire. It also investigates political enslavement within the church and government, as well as the difficult lives of servants under harsh masters. This study challenges the idea that literary and cultural studies have focused too narrowly on race-based chattel slavery, offering a broader perspective on how the concept was used in historical literature.
