Moncure Daniel Conway

    Moncure Daniel Conway was een radicale schrijver en abolitionist wiens leven Amerikaanse en Europese intellectuele stromingen overspande. Hoewel geworteld in een patriottische en patricische Virginiaanse afkomst, bracht hij decennia in het buitenland door, waar hij een pad smeedde als vrijdenkende predikant en essayist. Conway's werk verkende de kruispunten van sociale hervorming, religie en biografie, en liet een duidelijke stempel achter op het intellectuele landschap van zijn tijd.
