Welcome to Brycchan Carey's Website Welcome to my website and please feel free to explore. I have a large and growing selection of pages dedicated to the literature, history, and culture of eighteenth and nineteenth-century Britain. In particular, I have pages dedicated to Black British writers of the period, such as Ignatius Sancho, Olaudah Equiano, and Ottobah Cugoano, as well as resources for the study of slavery, abolition, and emancipation. There is a growing collection of biographies of British Abolitionists, and also a collection of otherwise difficult-to-obtain e-texts, in particular, poems about slavery. You will also find images and opinions about Cornwall, my childhood home, Gamlingay, my current home, and pages reflecting other personal interests (and obsessions).
