Research and writing towards a digital edition of Mary Anne Rawson’s abolitionist anthology The Bow in the Cloud (1834).

This project is an interactive multimedia digital edition of The Bow in the Cloud, an 1834 anti-slavery anthology that was edited by the British abolitionist Mary Anne Rawson. The edition reveals the unfolding of the anthology's hitherto unexamined manuscript archive and uses network analysis methods to reveal the connections between the elements of the anthology and wider aspects of transatlantic anti-slavery publishing.
