Say It Loud!: African-American Audiences, Media, and Identity
Sancho is a really entertaining writer but I wish the ebook had had more footnotes! It got super confusing when everybody was Mr M-- and Miss C-- and it was never explained who was who or why he was writing to them.
I was also wondering whether his excessively complimentary style was because he really thought everybody he was writing to was awesome, or because that's just how friends wrote to each other in the 1700s, or whether that's what worked for him considering the position and society he was in.
The most interesting letters were the ones he wrote to the young black guy who was "adopted" and spoilt by the Marquess of something or other, and who was very talented but super wild, and was sent out to India to make a fresh start.
ETA: I didn't actually read the Penguin classics edition. That probably would have helped! I read the free Kindle Classics version with no modern foreword or anything.
