Maurice Jackson, Let This Voice Be Heard: Anthony Benezet, Father of Atlantic Abolitionism (University of Pennsylvania, 2010)
This is a magnificent biography of one of the world's great unsung heroes. Anthony Benezet was born in France but was taken at an early age to Philadelphia, where he became a leading antislavery campaigner in the Society of Friends. In later life, he wrote some of the most important antislavery texts of the time, which helped form the views of John Wesley, Granville Sharp, and Thomas Clarkson. Jackson's biography brings Benezet back to life: scholarly throughout, it is also eminently readable. This is the first biography of Benezet for almost a century, and will without doubt remain the standard work for the century to come.
