Most writers associated with the first generation of British Romanticism - Blake, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Southey, Thelwall, and others - wrote against the slave trade. This edition collects a corpus of work which reflects the issues and theories concerning slavery and the status of the slave.
'A milestone in helping to resuscitate ... the attitudes which defined victim, oppressor and abolitionist. Their importance cannot be exaggerated.' Daily Telegraph 'This impressively produced eight-volume set is a useful set of documents, especially for those far removed from large libraries that possess the originals. Students of literature and history will find much important and rare material here.' Times Higher Education Supplement
