Contes Américains

Jean-François de Saint-Lambert

2/5 ( ratings)

These three tales, hailed by Diderot among others, but unpublished for over a century , are a fictional exploration of Otherness and the intercultural set in the New World, either among native Americans or runaway slaves in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 littéraires. It includes an introduction, select bibliography and essential notes, all in French.

Language: English

Pages: 88

Format: Paperback

Publisher: University of Exeter Press
