"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"
