Instead he directs us straight to its interest for us today, the remarkable sensitivity with which Lamartine anticipates Césaire, Senghor and Fanon by creating for Toussaint and his Haitians many of the psychological traits of what will be known as negritude a hundred years later. The play deserves to be better known by students of the latter as well as those—let us hope there are some in the year 2000—still studying Romantic idealism; this impeccable edition is what they need.\u003c\/p\u003e * French Studies, Volume LIV No. 4, 2000 *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is good to have this text available in such an authoritative edition.\u003c\/p\u003e * Modern Language Review, Volume 95 No. 2, 2000 *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFRONTISPICE, II; INTRODUCTION, V; TOUSSAINT LOUVERTURE; Preface, 2; Acte Premier, 13; Acte Deuxieme, 29; Acte Troisieme, 59; Acte Quatrieme, 99; Acte Cinquieme, 121; AJOUTS ET SUPPRESSIONS, 149; BIBLIOGRAPHIE, 153.","brand":"University of Exeter Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359248515415,"sku":"9780859896351","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780859896351.jpg?v=1754124101","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/toussaint-louverture-exeter-french-texts-104-9780859896351","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
