Marie-Adelaïde Barthélémy-Hadot's Révolte de Boston : Gender, Race, and the American Revolution

Abstract

Set in America during the War of Independence, Barthélémy-Hadot's 1820 novel La Révolte de Boston reflects the author's ethical commitment to justice and equality as it explores the theme of liberation from oppression in three parallel and complementary modes: as a revolt against slavery, against political oppression, and male domination.
