Kritik
"For sure, the book is a useful teaching aid for introductory college-level classes or for scholars just coming to the subject matter. Scholars who have done more extensive work on Sharp and the British abolitionist movement might find the book most useful for its many nuances." (Cassander L. Smith, Eighteenth-Century Fiction, Vol. 33 (3), 2021)

"Faubert stumbled across the manuscript in the British Library (BL) while leafing through a volume of eighteenth-century pamphlets. Her book conveys the excitement of this serendipitous find and her subsequent investigation ... . the book is a valuable exercise in historical detection, with informative chapters on the Zong case, Sharp's text and its provenance, and itshistorical significance." (John Coffey, Slavery & Abolition, November 21, 2020)mehr
