A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

These three tales, hailed by Diderot among others, but unpublished for over a century (and in one case for nearly two centuries), are a fictional exploration of Otherness and the intercultural set in the New World, either among native Americans (Abenakis, Iroquois) or runaway slaves in Jamaica befriended by Quakers. They argue powerfully for a reassessment of the philosophe Saint-Lambert, since they represent a significant contribution to the anti-slavery debate of the time and to a consideration of cultural relativity, revitalised by recent postcolonial discourses. This title is Volume 99 in the series Exeter French Texts/Textes litteraires. It includes an introduction, select bibliography and essential notes, all in French.

Revue de presse

A worthwhile addition to this useful series. ---Modern Language Review, 95.2, 2000

Saint-Lambert's stories, while not distinguished by any exceptional literary merits, none the less have their place in intellectual and cultural history and were well worth re-editing. Little is to be commended on making them easily accessible again in this splendid edition. ---French Studies, LIV.1, 2000
