Textul de pe ultima copertă
This
book
delineates
the
discovery
of
a
previously
unknown
manuscript
of
a
letter
from
Granville
Sharp,
the
first
British
abolitionist,
to
the
“Lords
Commissioners
of
the
Admiralty.”
In
the
letter,
Sharp
demands
that
the
Admiralty
bring
murder
charges
against
the
crew
of
the Zong for
forcing
132
enslaved
Africans
overboard
to
their
deaths.
Uncovered
by
Michelle
Faubert
at
the
British
Library
in
2015,
the
letter
is
reproduced
here,
accompanied
by
her
examination
of
its
provenance
and
significance
for
the
history
of
slavery
and
abolition.
As
Faubert
argues,
the
British
Library
manuscript
is
the
only
fair
copy
of
Sharp’s
letter,
and
extraordinary
evidence
of
Sharp’s
role
in
the
abolition
of
slavery.

“For sure, the book is a useful teaching aid for introductory college-level classes or for scholars just coming to the subject matter. Scholars who have done more extensive work on Sharp and the British abolitionist movement might find the book most useful for its many nuances.” (Cassander L. Smith, Eighteenth-Century Fiction, Vol. 33 (3), 2021)
“Faubert stumbled across the manuscript in the British Library (BL) while leafing through a volume of eighteenth-century pamphlets. Her book conveys the excitement of this serendipitous find and her subsequent investigation … . the book is a valuable exercise in historical detection, with informative chapters on the Zong case, Sharp’s text and its provenance, and itshistorical significance.” (John Coffey, Slavery & Abolition, November 21, 2020)
