Jane Austen in the Context of Abolition: A Fling at the Slave Trade.
SKU: 13390
With a careful reading of Mansfield Park, Emma, and Persuasion, as well as Cowper, Johnson, and Clarkson, White posits that Austen was much more intellectually involved in the abolitionist movement than previously assumed. She argues against Edward Said's critique of Austen as a supporter of colonialism and slavery. A careful, convincing argument. Very good condition but with bumped corner, thus a great discount.
