This is a political, cultural and intellectual biography of the neglected but significant figure, Henry Redhead Yorke, a West Indian of African/British descent who became the most revolutionary radical in Britain between 1792-5 and then recanted to loyalism. It considers politicization and identity construction in the Georgian Atlantic World.
This is a political, cultural and intellectual biography of the neglected but important figure, Henry Redhead Yorke. A West Indian of African/British descent, born into a slave society but educated in Georgian England, he developed a complex identity to which politics was key. The most revolutionary radical in Britain between 1793-5, Yorke then recanted his radicalism and died a loyalist gentleman. This book raises important issues about the impact of "outsider" politics in England and the complexities of politicization and identity construction in the Atlantic World. It restores a forgotten black writer to his due place in history.
