Description

Explore how eighteenth-century British audiences understood slavery far beyond the transatlantic slave trade in this scholarly examination of literary and cultural representations. This book examines the diverse meanings of slavery during the long eighteenth century, from Barbary captivity narratives to Ottoman slaving practices, political enslavement by government and church, and the servitude of those under cruel masters. By moving beyond the narrow focus on race-based chattel enslavement, this study reveals how British literature and imagination grappled with multiple forms of bondage and captivity. Essential reading for scholars and students of British history, literary studies, and cultural analysis seeking to understand the full complexity of how eighteenth-century writers and thinkers conceptualised freedom, subjugation, and the human condition across geographical and social contexts.

Key Features

Published by Routledge as part of the British Literature in Context in the Long Eighteenth Century series, providing scholarly authority on this historical period.

Examines how eighteenth-century British audiences understood slavery to encompass Barbary captivity, Ottoman Empire practices, political enslavement, and servitude beyond transatlantic trade.

Challenges narrow literary and cultural studies interpretations that focus exclusively on race-based chattel enslavement of sub-Saharan populations.

Explores the metaphysical and physical conditions of slavery as represented in British literary texts and cultural imagination during this transformative era.

Essential resource for historians, literature scholars, and cultural studies students investigating British intellectual responses to bondage and freedom.
