Abstract
Presented jointly by the English, History, and Theatre Departments and the African-American Studies Program. The story of Inkle and Yarico was famous throughout the eighteenth century in Britain, other European countries, and in the North American colonies for portraying the evils of the slave trade. A play by the notorious English Radical John Thelwall (1764-1834) has recently been discovered in manuscript and has never before been heard in public. Professor Frank Felsenstein of Ball State University, discoverer of Thelwall’s play, is also the author of an Inkle and Yarico Reader titled English Trader, Indian Maid: Representing Gender, Race, and Slavery in the New World (1999).
