A Comparative Literary History of Modern Slavery
Slavery
The national debate over slavery and the slave trade spanned the Romantic era, fought in nonfiction genres: pamphlets, periodical essays, autobiographical narratives, travel writing, and colonial history. Antislavery polemics projected an imaginary geography, contrasting a pastoral Africa with depraved sugar colonies; some presented first-hand colonial experience. Slavery’s defenders, conversely, painted Africa as a hellhole and the slave trade a…

Adolphe Duperly's rebellion prints and the historical moment of emancipation
French lithographer Adolphe Duperly created three remarkable prints in 1833, between Jamaica's last slave revolt (1831–1832) and Emancipation (1834). He appropriated images from James Hakewill's Picturesque Tour of [ ... ] Jamaica, calling his prints “occurrences,” a designation whose historical specificity contrasts with the timelessness of the picturesque. Duperly adds rebelling slaves, depicting them in ambiguous ways evoking both threat and c…

Slavery and the Politics of Place
Geography played a key role in Britain's long national debate over slavery. Writers on both sides of the question represented the sites of slavery - Africa, the Caribbean, and the British Isles - as fully imagined places and the basis for a pro- or anti-slavery political agenda. With the help of twenty-first-century theories of space and place, Elizabeth A. Bohls examines the writings of planters, slaves, soldiers, sailors, and travellers whose d…

Women Travel Writers and the Language of Aesthetics, 1716–1818
British readers of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries eagerly consumed books of travel in an age of imperial expansion that was also the formative period of modern aesthetics. Beauty, sublimity, sensuous surfaces, and scenic views became conventions of travel writing as Britons applied familiar terms to unfamiliar places around the globe. The social logic of aesthetics, argues Elizabeth Bohls, constructed women, the labouring classes, …
The Aesthetics of Colonialism
THE CULTURAL POLITICS OF THE AESTHETIC SPHERE, and in particular the history of the shifting boundary separating the aesthetic from other areas of discursive practice, has recently come under intensified scrutiny.2 The eighteenth century was a watershed in this history. Clearly, neither the experience of beauty, nor the idea of art as somehow removed from the everyday, originated in this period; yet eighteenth-century Britain saw an unprecedented…
