British abolitionism and the question of moral progress in history / edited by Donald A. Yerxa.
"In this collection historians use the abolition of the British slave trade as a case study for exploring the larger interpretive question of moral progress in history. Approaching their subject from the standpoints of social, economic, religious, scientific, and political history, the fourteen contributors explore connections between religious belief and social transformation, the material and cultural structures needed to translate altruism into successful political movements."--Provided by the publisher.
