Traduction, par Maurice-Edgar COINDREAU, de "The Confessions of Nat Turner", roman publié en 1966 par l'écrivain états-unien William STYRON (1925-2006), dont le narrateur est Nat Turner, meneur à la personnalité complexe de la violente insurrection d'esclaves noirs de Southampton (1831), qui évoque sa vie et sa révolte: adaptation littéraire de "Les Confessions de Nat Turner", récit recueilli par son avocat Thomas R. Gray et publié peu après son exécution, précédée de "Au public", préface de Thomas R. GRAY à ce récit, et d'une note de l'écrivain qui précise ne s'être "écarté que très rarement des faits connus sur Nat Turner et sur la révolte dont il fut le chef", dans un récit où il a essayé de "recréer un homme et sa période". Ouvrage où William STYRON "fait œuvre d'historien, de sociologue, de peintre de mœurs et de psychologue sans jamais oublier qu'il est avant tout romancier. Cela l'amène à prendre certaines libertés avec les faits [...] mais lui permet de brosser un tableau coloré de la vie dans les plantations du sud des Etats-Unis avant la guerre de Sécession et de nous présenter une analyse aiguë d'un dangereux illuminé, mystique sanguinaire et obsédé sexuel."

The Trollope family made a little industry writing about visits to America, and comments on the land and its peoples. Anthony's mother, Frances, visited in the 1820's, and published a book about the trip in 1832. Anthony visited four times. His substantial trip in 1861 was the basis for this 1862 best seller. Anthony's comments on political matters during this contentious Civil War time were insightful and frank. Neither he nor his mother were beloved in the U.S. for many years. PAIMP 23

"Landing at New Orleans in late December, 1827, she went almost immediately up the river to Memphis and thence to Louisville and Cincinnati, reaching the latter place about February 10, 1828. At Memphis she tarried a few days and went to visit Francis Wright's near-by Nashoba Community, which oppressed her with its unfinished buildings and primitive surroundings. After leaving Cincinnati, the scene of her most violent tirades against the United States, she passed the summer of 1830 in Maryland. Here she observed slavery, especially among the small landed proprietors, and found the slaves not badly treated, although she believed the essence of the system to be bad" - Clark 112. She also visited Pennsylvania, Baltimore, Washington, and New York. "A minor classic of looking down one's nose" - Streeter 845. Her book became an instant best seller. Her attacks on the Americans assured that the book would be an object of great controversy, and would sell on both sides of the Atlantic.

A narrative of the author's travels in Barbados, Surinam, Santa Cruz, and other islands in West Indies with comments on life their, condition of slaves, etc. Ragatz, Guide For The Study Of British Caribbean History 1763-1834, p. 235: 'The author was a surgeon assigned to the naval hospital in Barbados in 1807 and later to a war vessel cruising through the islands. He spent about four years in Caribbean service and became thoroughly familiar with colonial society. His book presents an interesting picture of the rushing business conducted by the slave traders in Barbados on the eve of abolition and gives accounts of encounters with the Spanish and French during the course of the Napoleonic wars. The author . . . was greatly shocked by the general prevalence of immorality'. Cundall 2150. Sabin 101114. The map is of the Caribbee or Leeward Islands, with South America shown at bottom.

Second Edition, with additions, 12mo, [5], 6-100pp., folding engraved map of the town of Leicester, 5 nineteenth-century mounted actual photographs tipped-in, and 6 engraved plates tipped, modern cloth, uncut, spine faded. Susanna Watts was born in Leicester and was dedicated to bringing about the immediate abolition of slavery. She started one of the first fair trade campaigns, wrote hymns and pamphlets and even locked horns with William Wilberforce. When her father died, her wealthy family's finances became tight and she had to find a way to support herself and her mother. At the age of 15 or 16 she began writing to earn money, and as well as penning the first guide to Leicester, she wrote poetry to promote the emancipation of slaves. To be a young woman and a published author in the late 18th Century would not have been an easy task, so the fact that she prevailed shows how passionate Susanna was in her desire to make her antislavery views known. "They dared to stand up in front of all these men and say what they thought was right ? two women from the provincial town of Leicester." According to Shirley Aucott, a local historian and author, Susanna worked on a periodical called 'The Hummingbird', which brought together different ideas on the antislavery moment, and she organised what must have been one of the first fair trade campaigns! She visited local households and shops to persuade them not to use sugar produced in the Caribbean, claiming that, "abstinence from sugar would sign the death warrant of West Indian slavery."

There has not been any previous collection of relevant ancient sources in a form suitable for students or specialists in disciplines such as Modern or Social and Economic History unfamiliar with the classical languages - indeed, there does not even exist such a collection for specialists in Classics. -- This selection provides readers interested in ancient slavery with translations in contemporary English of those major texts from Greek and Latin literature to which modern scholarship constantly refers, as well as a small sample of the epigraphical and other non-literary material. -- Cross-references, Bibliography, and a detailed Index are provided to make it particularly suitable for use by School and University classes. Although it is intended as a supplement and not a substitute for a systematic treatment of the subject, and the author s interpretative comment is kept to a minimum, the material is arranged with introductions bringing out the significance of each of the chosen passages. 283p, map incdex Book
