Poems Concerning the Slave Trade
Published in the early 19th century, 'Poems Concerning the Slave Trade' by Robert Southey addresses the harsh realities of the slave trade from the perspective of an author born in Bristol, a key port for this practice. The collection aims to raise awareness among a largely indifferent public about the brutality of slavery. Notably, the final poem addresses Lord Grenville, the British Prime Minister at the time of the 1807 abolition of the slave trade in the British Empire.
