Scotland and the Caribbean, c.1740-1833

Více o knize

The book delves into Scotland's historical ties to Caribbean slavery, uncovering the cultural connections often overlooked in Enlightenment to Romantic-era literature. By re-evaluating these texts, it highlights the implications of this neglected history and advocates for an archipelagic perspective within the transnational Atlantic context. Through a world-literature lens, it aims to reshape understanding of Scotland's identity and its entanglement with the legacy of the black Atlantic.
