"No Abolition of Slavery; or the Universal Empire of Love" by James Boswell is a poem penned in the late 18th century. This literary work addresses the contentious issue of slavery, specifically focusing on the arguments against its abolition in Britain. The poem engages with political rhetoric of the time, showcasing the author's stance on the relationship between slavery and the perceived benefits it provides to individuals involved, particularly in the context of the West Indies. In this poem, Boswell employs satire and personal commentary to critique the abolitionist movement and those advocating for the rights of enslaved individuals. The poem juxtaposes the conditions of enslaved Africans with the hardships faced by the lower classes in Britain, implying that both groups experience suffering in different forms. Through vivid imagery and various character portrayals, the poet ultimately argues for the continuation of slavery, underlining the complicity of love and desire in human hierarchies. The result is a complex exploration of power, social structure, and love, casting a controversial light on a deeply divisive topic of the era.
