“With the help of recent theories of space and place, the book examines the writings of planters, enslaved people, soldiers, sailors and travelers whose diverse geographical and social locations inflect their representation of British slavery, analyzing the ways in which these writers use discourses of aesthetics, natural history, cultural geography, and gendered domesticity to intervene in Britain's protracted national debate over slavery.”
