William Wilberforce


Major new biography of a key figure in the abolition movement.

Publishing to coincide with the bicentenary in 2007 of the Anti-Slave Trade Act, this lively biography includes primary documentation about the experience of slaves and slave traders.

Drawing on his experience as a journalist and a church historian, Tomkins' book traces Wilberforce's early years as the son of a wealthy merchant family in Hull and his dissolute life in Cambridge. Following his work as an MP under Pitt and his evangelical conversion, he became a campaigner for public morality and led the parliamentary movement for the abolition of slavery. The book covers the formation of the 'Clapham Sect' and the passing of the Anti-Slave trade act, up to Wilberforce's death just 3 days after the final reading of the Emancipation Bill.
