Empire of Hell: Religion and the Campaign to End Convict Transportation in the British Empire, 1788–1875
Carey, Hilary M. (University of Bristol)
This revisionist history challenges current ideas about convict transportation from Britain and Ireland, penal colonies and religion. It examines religious arguments for and against convict transportation, asks why elites believed it could be reformed, and, later, why it should be abolished.
