Description

Based on events that began in Saint-Domingue on August 21; 1791; The Saint-Domingue Plantation; or; The Insurrection vividly dramatizes the genesis and outbreak of a slave revolt. When a representative of the French Assembleacute;e nationale; Monsieur de Tendale; arrives at the Valombre family plantation to examine the condition of slaves in Saint-Domingue and to preach their liberation; he sparks a debate among the local cureacute; and the Valombresmdash;Monsieur; Madame; son Leacute;on; and daughter Ceacute;lestinemdash;who disagree about how slaves should be treated and whether they should be freed. Meanwhile; rebellion brews on the plantation. As the slave revolt unfolds; the plays white hero; Leacute;on; realizes the discrepancy between his liberal political and philosophical ideas and the reality of his familys economic interests. The black hero; Timur; confronts the slaves bloodthirsty desire to kill the masters; their resistance to his leadership; and the realization that freedom places heavy demands on him and the other insurgents.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 antislavery activists raised during Charles de Reacute;musats time; including antitorture measures; slaves access to the sacrament of marriage; and religious education. 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.
