Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book is an analysis of the sources influencing Victor Hugo's first novel, Bug-Jargal. It examines how the adventuresome and exotic stories circulating about enslaved Africans and rebellions in the Caribbean at the time shaped the novel's characters and themes. The author explores the evolution of these stories and their heroes from explorers' accounts, through Enlightenment writings, and sentimental novels, tracing how these narratives contributed to the literary tradition within which Hugo's work can be situated. The study concludes that these sources' romanticization of the African freedom fighter was an important part of the broader intellectual history of anti-slavery agitation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
