Description

In this scholarly work from Routledge, Nandini Bhattacharya explores the complex connections between colonization, slavery, and eighteenth-century literature. The text examines how circumatlantic writers used aesthetic metaphors to navigate the ethical debates surrounding value and trade. By analyzing the discourse of connoisseurship, the book reveals how writers addressed the exchange of human beings through the lens of taste. Through a study of authors such as Richard Brinsley Sheridan, George Colman Jr., James Cobb, and Phillis Wheatley, this book investigates how literary transnationalism redefined concepts of value. It provides a deep look into how literature attempted to mitigate the guilt associated with ownership and trade during this era. This is an essential resource for readers interested in literary theory, history, and the intersection of gender and colonial discourse.
