The historian Thomas Kuhn, in his influential study The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, noted that the final stage in a scientific breakthrough such as Albert Einstein's theory of relativity-that is, the most crucial stage-was "inscrutable." The same is still true half a century later. Yet, there has been considerable progress in understanding many of the stages and facets of exceptional creativity and innovation.

The analysis of their culture of reform demonstrates the way in which alliances of diverse religious groups roused public opinion and influenced political leaders. The resulting definition of the distinctive `reform mentality' links antislavery to other efforts at moral and social improvement and highlights its contradictory relations to the social effects of industrialization and the growth of liberalism.Antislavery movementsGreat BritainAbolitionistsGreat BritainHistorySocial reformersGreat BritainHistorySlavery and the churchGreat BritainHistoryAntislavery movementsAbolitionistsHistory.Social reformersHistory.Slavery and the churchHistory.326/.0942Turley David1941-1876161MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910966226203321The culture of English antislavery, 1780-18604487602UNINA
