Gays/Lesbians in HISTORY BECKFORD, WILLIAM (1760-1844), British Writer and Politician An English novelist of some reputation, Beckford was unfortunate enough to have the only passionate affair in his life ruined by scandal. At the age of nineteen, he fell in love with eleven year old William Courtenay. Five years later, they were caught in bed together, and the Morning Herald reported the next day on "the rumor concerning a Grammatical mistake of Mr. B- and the Hon. Mr. C-, in regard to the genders." It was one of England's first reported gay scandels. Beckford moved to Switzerland and began his career as a novelist. Some of his novels included homosexual episodes. He later returned to England and served in the House of Commons. Return to History Menu

The Romantic Era In 1789, William Lisle Bowles (1762-1850) wrote an influential sonnet sequence, Fourteen Sonnets , a sign of brighter times ahead for the form. As rational, witty, neoclassical seventeenth century poems written in heroic couplets gave way to major works in more open forms, the sonnet was somehow adapted to accommodate the literary values of this period. In many of these works one can sense the new worth placed on intuition and spontaneity. Second, perhaps, only to Shakespeare, William Wordsworth (1770-1850) is generally considered one of the greatest sonneteers. Writing over five hundred sonnets (mostly the early ones are still read), he ushered the form back into widespread use and also revived the sonnet sequence. Wordsworth continued the work of Milton in freeing the sonnet's subject matter from the conventional and treated the sonnet as a subjective "verse essay" in which to explore his emotions ( Among the well known poets of the Romantic period, John Keats (1795-1821) and Percy Shelley (1792-1822) wrote the sonnets most commonly anthologized "Bright Star" and "Ozymandius" , respectively. Other notable poets, including

He built up a famous library of English poetry which he drew upon in his subsequent writing. He edited the first accurate edition of The Poems of Thomas Gray (1814) and later edited Gray's Works He was employed by Pickering to edit a number of the Aldine editions of English poets including Cowper (1830), Goldsmith (1831), Milton (1832), Dryden (1833), Swift (1834), Prior (1835) and Spenser (1839).

T he Profits Introduction. The Slave Trade Trail (Nevis to Bristol). The Owner's Fortunes. Introduction Bristol, as England's second port, grew wealthy from the late 17th century onwards from a combination of the slave trade and the trade in slave-produced commodities. What of the African people, whose labour underpinned the whole system? Most were kidnapped in slaving raids or captured in inter-tribal wars and forced to march to the West African coast. Many died en route. Those who survived were bought, mainly from West African traders, in exchange for arms, alcohol, metalware, jewellery and textiles. Most of those enslaved were then shackled and packed below deck in slave ships bound for the Caribbean or the Americas. Those who survived the filthy and brutal conditions of the 'middle passage' were sold on arrival in exchange for colonial produce such as sugar, cocoa, molasses, coffee, cotton, indigo and rum, which was then brought back to the English ports to be processed and sold on. This 'triangular trade' was complemented by more direct trading links between England and her colonies. Relatively few enslaved Africans were shipped directly to England. Those who did arrive came as domestic servants, sailors and musicians. By the mid-18th century free black men also came to Britain, usually as seamen. There is evidence that a handful of "African Princes" (the sons of indigenous West African slave traders) came to be educated in England.
