This book reveals the development of a progressive sense of honor and dignity – against its usual counterpoint, freedom – within nineteenth-century British poetry, prose, and abolitionist media. For readers of literature, sociology, politics, and economics, it offers a rich cultural history of a value long viewed as reactionary and regressive.
