The Culture of English Antislavery, 1780-1860 by David Turley
Deals with the Thatcher-induced discussion of `Victorian values'
British antislavery is an area of quite sharp historical debate
Fresh angle of approach rather than operating within the terms of the debate so far - first study of antislavery to focus on culture of reform in an extended way and related to class
Community studies integrated into a general argument about anti-slavery
Unusual in that it argues for significant limits to antislavery liberalism and concludes that its importance to 19th century development may have been overestimated
