ABSTRACT This article examines the ways in which slave owners appropriated a superficial manifestation of the cosmopolitan ethos for their own ends in Mary Robinson’s Angelina: A Novel (1796) and Charlotte Smith’s “The Story of Henrietta” (1800). Plantation owners such as Smith’s Mr. Maynard and Robinson’s Sir Edward Clarendon are not interested in promoting cosmopolitan ideals of shared humanity across difference but use a façade of cosmopolitanism to get rich while suppressing the rights of all subordinates – including slaves and women. Rather than simply using slavery as an analogy for the subjection of British women, or vice versa, this essay shows how both writers are invested in tracing the extent of corruption that the slave trade and plantation cosmopolitanism wrought on everyday life in England, especially for women. Slavery created an economic system that rendered the slave owner all-powerful. As in Immanuel Kant’s writings on cosmopolitanism, violence – particularly inspired by contemporary slave and Maroon uprisings – plays a vital role in purging society from tyranny and moving toward an enlightened cosmopolitanism.

玛丽·罗宾逊的《安吉丽娜》中的种植园世界主义：小说和夏洛特·史密斯的“亨利埃塔的故事”

摘要 本文考察了奴隶主如何在玛丽·罗宾逊的《安吉丽娜：小说》（1796 年）和夏洛特·史密斯的“亨利埃塔的故事”（1800 年）中为自己的目的挪用世界主义精神的表面表现形式。史密斯的梅纳德先生和罗宾逊的爱德华·克拉伦登爵士等种植园主对促进跨越差异的共同人性的世界主义理想不感兴趣，而是利用世界主义的幌子致富，同时压制所有下属的权利——包括奴隶和妇女。这篇文章并没有简单地使用奴隶制来比喻英国女性的服从，反之亦然，而是展示了两位作者如何致力于追踪奴隶贸易和种植园世界主义对英格兰日常生活造成的腐败程度，尤其是对女性而言. 奴隶制创造了一种经济体系，使奴隶主拥有全能。正如伊曼纽尔·康德 (Immanuel Kant) 关于世界主义的著作一样，暴力——尤其是受到当代奴隶和栗色起义的启发——在将社会从暴政中清除并走向开明的世界主义方面发挥着至关重要的作用。
