About the book

Born on a slave ship crossing the Atlantic, Ignatius Sancho defied what he called the 'miserable fate of almost all of our unfortunate colour'. A friend of Laurence Sterne, and author of A Theory of Music, Sancho had become part of the literary and musical establishment by the time of his death in 1780. Bringing to life an exemplary black Englishman lost in traditional history, Ignatius Sancho offers a fascinating insight into the life of this remarkable man.
