Cambridge Library Collection - Slavery and Abolition

Stephen condemned attempts to reinstate older slavery practices on the West Indian colonies in this book published in London, 1802.

James Stephen (1758–1832) was a lawyer, anti-slavery advocate, and Member of Parliament. He argued that the French should not be allowed to reinstate older slavery practices on its West Indian colonies for fear of the consequences for the neighbouring British colonies. It was published in London in 1802.

A New History of Jamaica

An 1820 biography of leading anti-slavery campaigner Granville Sharp, drawn directly from his own writings.

The family of leading anti-slavery campaigner Granville Sharp (1735–1813) consigned his archives to the painter, playwright and author Prince Hoare, who published this biography in 1820.

Memoirs of Granville Sharp, Esq

This 1863 book describes both the history of the anti-slavery movement and individual stories of hardship and cruelty.

Eliza Wigham (1820–99), Scots philanthropist and champion of women's rights, published this short book in 1863. Her aim was to counter pressure on the British government to support the Confederacy in the American Civil War by describing both the history of abolitionism and individual stories of hardship and cruelty.

The Anti-Slavery Cause in America and its Martyrs

In 1769, writer and anti-slavery campaigner Granville Sharp published this work demonstrating that slavery has no basis in English law.

Granville Sharp (1735–1813) undertook legal research to oppose slavery, and in 1769 published this work to demonstrate that slavery has no basis in English law. In 1772, the case of James Somerset was brought before Lord Mansfield, who upheld Sharp's contention, effectively freeing all slaves in England.

A Representation of the Injustice and Dangerous Tendency of Tolerating Slavery

A 1796 collection of documents, with extended introduction, relating to recent conflict in Jamaica between the British and runaway slaves.

A wealthy planter in the West Indies, Bryan Edwards (1743–1800) lived in Jamaica during the peak of its sugar wealth.

Letters of the Late Ignatius Sancho, an African 2 Volume Set

Published 1782, the two-volume correspondence of former slave Ignatius Sancho (c.1729-80) displayed his natural intelligence, helping counter contemporary racism.

Born a slave and largely self-taught, Ignatius Sancho (c.1729–80) corresponded in Britain with a wide social circle that included nobility, artists and politicians. Published in 1782, this two-volume collection of his charmingly composed letters helped counter contemporary racism by showing that Africans possessed as much natural intelligence as Europeans.

To Which Are Prefixed, Memoirs of his Life

Letters of the Late Ignatius Sancho, an African

Originally published in 1776, this tract is a rigorous riposte to the argument that slavery is sanctioned by God.

Granville Sharp (1735–1813) was a founding member of the London committee of the Society for the Abolition of the Slave Trade. This 1776 tract, a riposte to the idea that slavery is sanctioned by God, is a rigorous defence of liberty and of 'the honour of holy Scriptures'.

The Just Limitation of Slavery in the Laws of God

An 1832 pamphlet detailing persecution following the Christmas Rebellion, reissued with an 1837 narrative of life as a Jamaican slave.

This 1832 pamphlet details the violence directed against nonconformists and missionaries, who were regarded as having been sympathetic towards Jamaica's Christmas Rebellion. It is reissued with an 1837 narrative by James Williams, who became an apprentice under the system that replaced slavery. He describes how conditions for former slaves were little improved.

A Sierra Leonean doctor's attack on Victorian ideas about race and his call for increased self-rule in West Africa.

In West African Countries and Peoples, published in 1868, Sierra Leone-born doctor James Africanus Beale Horton (1835–1883) refutes derogatory Victorian racial ideas about Africans. He was also considered an early proponent of African independence because he examines the potential of self-government almost 100 years before decolonisation.

One of the most important slave narratives ever written, this book lays bare the realities of enslavement in antebellum America.

Douglass escaped slavery in 1838 and became a tireless campaigner for abolitionism. This autobiography lays bare the realities of slavery in antebellum America. The eloquence of Douglass' writing, with an immediacy and honesty found shocking at the time, make this an invaluable record of one of humanity's most shameful acts.

Penguin Monarchs

Part of the "Penguin Monarchs" series, these are short, fresh and informative accounts of England's rulers.

Part of the Penguin Monarchs series: short, fresh, expert accounts of England's rulers in a collectible format Henry VII was one of England's unlikeliest monarchs. An exile and outsider with barely a claim to the throne, his victory over Richard III at Bosworth Field seemed to many in 1485 only the latest in the sequence of violent convulsions among England's nobility that would come to be known as the Wars of the Roses - with little to suggest that the obscure Henry would last any longer than his predecessor. To break the cycle of division, usurpation, deposition and murder, he had both to maintain a grip on power and to convince England that his rule was both rightful and effective. Here, Sean Cunningham explores how, in his ruthless and controlling kingship, Henry VII did so, in the process founding the Tudor dynasty.

The Norse Warrior's (Unofficial) Manual

Viking:The Norse Warrior's (Unofficial) Manual

The Fleury Playbook has been justly celebrated as the most comprehensive extant collection of medieval music-dramas, containing in a single manuscript examples of non-biblical miracle plays, and settings of the Nativity and Resurrection stories, together with accounts of the conversion of Paul and Mary Magdalene. In this the first full-length monograph on the Playbook, Wyndham Thomas places the collection in its historical, cultural and musical context. Each of the 10 plays is treated to a close dramatic and musical analysis and placed in its broader context of musical life in the twelfth century.

2018 will mark the 800th anniversary of the consecration of the Abbey of St BenoÃ®t-sur-Loire - or Fleury Abbey - the previous home and namesake of the Fleury Playbook, a collection of 10 medieval music-dramas that has long held been a source of fascination, and not a little perplexity, for scholars in a variety of disciplines: history, music history, literary studies, art history in particular. The Fleury Playbook has been justly celebrated as the most comprehensive extant collection of medieval music-dramas, containing in a single manuscript examples of non-biblical miracle plays, and settings of the Nativity and Resurrection stories, together with accounts of the conversion of Paul and Mary Magdalene.  In this the first full-length monograph on the Playbook, Wyndham Thomas places the collection in its historical, cultural and musical context. The first three chapters introduce and then explore the issues raised by the collection: following an introduction, chapter 2 is devoted to the history and traditions of the Abbey, making a persuasive argument for that institution as the original home of the collection, and perhaps the venue in which the plays were first performed. Chapter 3 discusses medieval saints’ cults, placing the dramas, and particularly the four devoted to St Nicholas, in this context. The remaining chapters are devoted to a close musical and dramatic analysis of the 10 plays themselves.
