“Signs of a Slavery in our England”

Focusing closely on two works, examine the way slavery—either literal and metaphorical—is defined and used in these texts. How does the representation of (literal or metaphorical) slavery intersect with discussions of power relations more generally? How are power and agency bound up with questions of gender, race, or class? In what ways are power relations maintained, threatened, or reversed, and to what effect? Please use specific examples when discussing the issues in these texts.
