It’s also understood that almost every other institution and aspect of life then was at least entangled with—and often profited from—slavery’s perpetuation. Yet as Sharon Ann Murphy shows in her powerful and ...

The cultural highlights of the reign of Queen Anne (1702-1714) have long been overlooked.
