Reviews
'Bohls' wide-reaching analysis of multiple genres by a variety of authors convincingly makes the case that the politics of place played a crucial role in constructing the West Indian colonies in the British imagination ... Bohls makes a valuable contribution by examining both sides of the debate, situating slavery within the project of empire, and showing how writers and artists from both camps made use of Romantic aesthetics to argue for or against slavery.' Lisa Ann Robertson, Journal of Romanticism
