Abstract
Abstract:This essay reads displaced Black voices and figures in abolitionist art and poetry as African Indigenes. It discusses the beads around the necks of two figures in Romantic visual culture. The first is a painting of a real Senegalese man, Prince Peter Panah, with Carl Bernhard Wädstrom by Carl Frederik Von Breda. The second is a reinterpretation of this painting in a mezzotint, The Benevolent Effects of Abolishing Slavery, or the Planter Instructing His N--- by W. Pyott, 1792. The beads in both images articulate Black diasporic resistance and Indigeneity that puncture the totality of Romantic abolitionism’s framing.
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.
