Slavery, Sugar, and Subjectivity: On Henry Fuseli鈥檚聽Oronooko
The conjunction of consumer goods and unfree labor, and of both with aesthetic autonomy, is distinctive of recent postcolonial criticism of the eighteenth century. It was also formulated in the eighteenth century by a writer and painter, Henry Fuseli, in texts and images that appear to contradict one another.
