Caribbean Revolution and Print Publics: Leonora Sansay and 'The Secret History of the Haitian Revolution.'.

If the Haitian Revolution remained shrouded by its lack of public knowledge, it was not because published accounts to provide a context for understanding its status in the Age of Revolutions were lacking. The novel by Leonora Sansay, titled Secret History, or the Horrors of St. Domingo (1808), provides a venue for discussion of the theoretical questions raised by considering works of literature in relation to the politics of liberty and revolution in Atlantic print culture.
