Thomas Moore, Bermuda, WritingsResumen
“Thomas Moore in Bermuda: Irish and African Liberties,” takes as its subject Moore’s five month sojourn in Bermuda in 1803-04, where he traveled to take up an appointment as Registrar of the Court of Vice Admiralty. While employed by a colonial administration, Moore is unable to condemn the institution of slavery in Bermuda, while he is able to condemn slavery in the United States. When read in conjunction with Moore’s writings from the United States, Moore’s writings from Bermuda emerge as an important source for understanding his attitudes towards colonialism and slavery, as well for situating his later use of the trope of slavery in his writings on Ireland.
