From this handsome building on the Atlantic shore African men, women and children were sold as slaves and carried across the ocean. In a truly original book, by telling the story of the castle and some of the people who lived, worked or were imprisoned within its walls, William St Clair is able to illuminate a panorama of modern history which in its entirety is hard to comprehend.

William St Clair is a Senior Research Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. His books include Lord Elgin and the Marbles, The Godwins and the Shelleys and, most recently, The Reading Nation in the Romantic Period. At the end of a Civil Service career he was under-secretary with responsibility for Treasury control of the Civil Service. He lives in London and Cambridge.
