Slavery was a heavily
debated topic in England during the 18th century, but the discourse was
not limited to coffee shops or Parliament. To be sure, oral arguments were
frequent and influential, but the influence of both art and literature should
not be forgotten. We have provided a gallery in which you can experience
an entirely different dimension of commentary through prints, literature,
and letters. Choose your forte below by clicking on William Hogarth for
artistic representations, or on the book for a myriad of written works. |
