| Abstract: | Nationalism, Sentiment, and Slavery: British Abolitionist Poetics examines poets who use notions of national identity to attack pro-slavers. These abolitionist poets contend that slavery has a boomerang effect, which corrupts Britain culture and people. These poets seize upon sentimental and sexual imagery to suggest that the supposed spread of civilization?through imperial slavery?de-civilizes Britain. |
