• Introduction: Sentimentalism, capitalist modernity, colonial slavery -- Spectacle, spectatorship, sympathy : Aphra Behn's Oroonoko and the English commercial empire -- Yarico's complaint : the female slave in the eighteenth-century public sphere -- English subjects, African slaves : Laurence Sterne and the politics of punishment -- Reforming labor discipline : slave culture and sentimental fiction -- "A fixed melancholy" : memories of migration in Atlantic slavery -- Filiation to affiliation : kinship and sentiment in Olaudah Equiano's interesting narrative -- Epilogue: The problem of slavery, the problem of freedom.
