Abstract	This study analyzes the rhetorical techniques adopted in Hannah More's 1788 poem “Slavery”, a seminal work in 18th-century British abolitionist literature. By means of in-depth theoretical and textual analysis, the research examines rhetorical devices, including ethos, pathos, and logos, as well as literary strategies crafted by More to sway her readers to oppose the slave business. The results illuminate the poetical rhetoric power in public reform movements.
