Nicholas Denyer at Cambridge University in England e-mails me to point out that in Chapter xxi of Mansfield Park there is in fact a reference to the slave-trade. Many thanks.
Just to show you how old I am getting, I actually knew that line and quoted it in my OLLI talk, but I forgot it when I wrote the blog post. Sigh. Keep on keeping me honest!

About Me
- Robert Paul Wolff
- As I observed in one of my books, in politics I am an anarchist, in religion I am an atheist, and in economics I am a Marxist. I am also, rather more importantly, a husband, a father, a grandfather, and a violist.
