The Saint-Domingue Plantation; Or, the Insurrection: A Drama in Five Acts

'Translated into English by Norman R. Shapiro for the first time since its publication in 1825, The Saint-Domingue Plantation addresses a wide range of topics that anti-slavery activists raised during Charles de Remusat's time, including antitorture measures and slaves' access to the sacrament of marriage. An informative introduction by Doris Y. Kadish places the play in its historic and literary contexts, inviting further discussion and interpretation of this important work.'--BOOK JACKET.
