Críticas:

"This edition of Sarah promises not only to expand the place of women's writing in the colonial archive but also to help bridge the gap between nineteenth- and twentieth-century francophone studies of slavery while promoting the integration of French and francophone studies across the curriculum." --Adrianna M. Paliyenko, editor of Engendering Race: Romantic-Era Women and French Colonial Memory

Reseña del editor:

A dugout canoe comes ashore on the island of Saint-Barthelemy in the Antilles; in it are a black man, Arsene, and a sleeping white child, Sarah. Seeking refuge, they are taken in by a good man, but the overseer of his plantation threatens both Arsene and Sarah with the loss of their freedom. Deborah Jenson and Doris Kadish introduce Sarah, an 1821 novella by Desbordes-Valmore, explaining its autobiographical background, political context (the revolt of blacks against Napoleon's soldiers), and literary genre (sentimentalism). The novella was a precursor to anticolonial and antislavery texts by Claire de Duras, Victor Hugo, George Sand, and Alphonse de Lamartine.
