Journal of James Irving's Shipwreck and Enslavement, May 1789-October 1798 -- A 'Short Account' by James Irving II, June-October 1789. 330 $aAs few accounts written by slave ship captains are known to have survived, the personal papers of James Irving are of tremendous interest and academic significance. Irving built a successful career in the slave trade of eighteenth-century Liverpool, first as a ship’s surgeon and then as a captain. Remarkably he was himself enslaved when his ship was wrecked off the coast of Morocco and he was captured by people described as ‘wild Arabs’ and ‘savages’. This edition of forty letters and his journal reveals the reaction of the slaver to the experience of slavery, as well as throwing light on the complex and, to modern eyes, repugnant features of the transatlantic slave trade. The result is both a compelling narrative and a valuable reference text. This thoroughly revised edition of Suzanne Schwarz’s best-selling book includes recently discovered archive material. 410 0$aLiverpool English Texts and Studies, 50 606 $aSlave trade$zEngland$zLiverpool$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aSlave traders$zEngland$zLiverpool$vBiography 606 $aSlave traders$zEngland$zLiverpool$xHistory$y18th century 615 0$aSlave trade$xHistory 615 0$aSlave traders 615 0$aSlave traders$xHistory 676 $a382.440941 702 $aSchwarz$b Suzanne 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782579703321 996 $aSlave captain$93803639 997 $aUNINA
