Literature, Art and Slavery

Více o knize

Focusing on the literary responses to visual representations of the transatlantic slave trade, this book explores how images from the era have influenced poetry and literature from the mid-1990s to 2020. It examines the evolution of these images across different contexts and their afterlives in British, American, and French literary traditions, particularly those created between 1779 and 1939. The author, a Professor of English Literature, brings expertise in various literary fields, enhancing the discussion of these powerful historical narratives.
