摘要

摘要:本文探讨了19世纪初兴起的关于种族平等的进步思想是如何随着英国废奴运动的成功而转变为新的种族主义和反黑人的。它认为，黑人角色在19世纪的演变，可以说是最臭名昭著的种族绰号的词源，以及浪漫主义时期“白人至上”一词的出现，为我们提供了一扇窗口，让我们了解文学和语言是如何与反黑人合作并为反黑人做出贡献的。

"Even in the Best Minds": Romanticism and the Evolution of Anti-Blackness

Abstract:This article explores how burgeoning progressive thinking about racial equality at the turn of the nineteenth century transformed into renewed racism and anti-blackness as the British abolition movement won success. It argues that the evolution of black characters over the nineteenth century, the etymology of arguably the most infamous of racial epithets, and the emergence of the term "white supremacy" during the Romantic period offers a window into how literature and language worked with and contributed to anti-blackness.

期刊介绍： Studies in Romanticism was founded in 1961 by David Bonnell Green at a time when it was still possible to wonder whether "romanticism" was a term worth theorizing (as Morse Peckham deliberated in the first essay of the first number). It seemed that it was, and, ever since, SiR (as it is known to abbreviation) has flourished under a fine succession of editors: Edwin Silverman, W. H. Stevenson, Charles Stone III, Michael Cooke, Morton Palet, and (continuously since 1978) David Wagenknecht. There are other fine journals in which scholars of romanticism feel it necessary to appear - and over the years there are a few important scholars of the period who have not been represented there by important work.
