Moncure Daniel Conway

    Moncure Daniel Conway byl radikální spisovatel a abolicionista, který se narodil ve Virginii, ale většinu svého života strávil v Anglii a Francii. Jeho dílo se zabývá širokou škálou témat a stylů, přičemž Conway ve své práci často zkoumal hranice společenských a náboženských norem. Inspiroval se svým patricijským původem a zároveň se od něj odpoutal, aby se stal vůdčí osobností volnomyšlenkářů v Londýně.
