The Trembling Hand

A provocative, revelatory history of British Romanticism that examines the impact of the transatlantic slave economy on the lives and times of some of our most beloved poets—with urgent lessons for today "[P]owerful, revelatory. . . . [A]s a writer Nabugodi is warm and witty, her prose both intimate and animated. . . . A masterpiece.” —Kerri Arsenault, The Boston Globe " One will never look at these poets in quite the same way.” —Michael Gorra, New York Times A scrap of Coleridge’s handwriting.
