Reviews

'This volume is well edited, has a good index, and a useful selected bibliography. The footnotes to the chapters also contain valuable references ...a valuable contribution to the consideration of a problem of representation which is still very much with us today.' BARS Review '... these essays represent a serious progression of ongoing debates surrounding eighteenth-century sensibility and its relationships to slavery, abolition, empire and race. Scholars familiar with monographs on these topics ... will certainly be interested in the fascinating case studies presented here. For those approaching the subject for the first time, Ahern's lively introduction and the balanced scope of perspectives on offer will inspire many new and fruitful areas of enquiry.' Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies 'One of the great strengths of [this book], a collection of essays exploring sentimental rhetoric in writing about slavery, is that it hangs together very well: all the essays address, in one way or another, the paradoxes that the editor Stephen Ahern sets out in his excellent and substantial introduction.'
