Victor Hugos BugJargal (1826) is one of the most important works of nineteenthcentury colonial fiction, and quite possibly the most sustained novelistic treatment of the Haitian Revolution by a major European author. This Broadview edition makes Hugos novel available in a completely new English translation, the first in over one hundred years. Set in 1791, during the first months of a slave revolt that would eventually lead to the creation of the black republic of Haiti in 1804, BugJargal is a stirring tale of interracial friendship and rivalry, a provocative account of the ties that bind a young Frenchman to one of the rebel leaders and the tragic misunderstandings that threaten to sever those ties completely.This Broadview edition contains a critical introduction and a broad selection of appendices, including Hugos neverbeforetranslated 1820 short story BugJargal, contemporary reviews of the novel, documents pertaining to the young Hugos poetics and politics, and selections from his source materials about the Haitian Revolution.
