摘要

摘要：本文采用了英国黑人废奴主义者Quobna Ottobah Cugoano（1757–约1801）的预言性语言，谴责跨大西洋奴隶贸易中的人道主义虐待行为。通过研究废奴主义者的论战《关于奴隶制和人类商业的邪恶和邪恶交易的思想和情感》（1787），我断言库戈亚诺对种族类别的彻底拒绝为英国浪漫主义提供了一种新的方式，以解释黑人作家超越奴隶制界限的更广泛贡献。库戈亚诺援引单基因谱系理论，将黑人身份规范化为共同的普遍人性的表达。

A Black Manifesto: Ottobah Cugoano's Radical Romanticism

Abstract:This essay engages with the prophetic language of Black British abolitionist Quobna Ottobah Cugoano (1757–c. 1801) as he condemns the humanitarian abuses of the transatlantic slave trade. By examining the abolitionist polemic Thoughts and Sentiments on the Evil and Wicked Traffic of the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species (1787), I assert that Cugoano's radical rejection of racial categories models a new way for British Romanticism to account for the broader contribution of Black writers beyond the limits of slavery. By invoking the genealogical theory of monogenesis, Cugoano normalizes Black identity as an expression of shared universal humanity.

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.
