De Lamartine, Toussaint Louverture; Poëme dramatique,1857
Toussaint Louverture; Poëme dramatique: New edition, by A. De Lamartine,xiv+310p, Paris, Michel Lévy Frères, 1857. (The premier presentation of this
drama in poetic format, was at the Théatre de la Porte-Saint-Martin on 6 April 1850. This cri d’humanité en cinq actes et en vers was addressed to a
presumably sympathetic public, its message no doubt enhanced by the recent abolition of slavery in France and its colonies in 1848. Louverture is
presented as a visionary patriot and humanitarian, decades ahead of his time, who was cynically trapped and then imprisoned under conditions calculated to
hasten death by a tyrannous Napoleon Bonaparte. An anonymous preface providing historical background for the drama is provided on pp. iv-xiv.)
