- "In 'The Grateful Negro,' Edgeworth envisions slavery made palatable: she imagines it reformed in the image of wage labor. The key to her reform is bringing slaves to accept their condition voluntarily, to see it as in their interests, and to accept it much as a free laborer theoretically accepts a contract ..."--cf. Boulukos, George E., "Maria Edgeworth's 'Grateful Negro' and the sentimental argument for slavery" in: Eighteenth-century life, v. 23, no. 1 (1999 Feb.).
