Description

Slavery and Augustan Literature offers a critical examination of how Jonathan Swift, Alexander Pope and John Gay addressed slavery within their literary works during the Tory ministry years. This Routledge study investigates the connections between these three major writers and a government ministry that sought to expand England's participation in the international slave trade, exploring how contemporary ideas about slavery shaped their writing. The book contextualises their texts within the political landscape of the period, revealing how literary works obscured or reflected the significance of the slave trade to Tory planning. Through detailed textual analysis, the volume uncovers attitudes towards slavery embedded in canonical eighteenth-century literature, offering scholars and students of Augustan writing a nuanced understanding of this complex historical and literary intersection.
