Francisco de Miranda, born under Spanish rule in Caracas, conceived of an idea to free his country, and in 1806 organized a revolutionary expedition to South America. Miranda secured financial support and a small ship, the Leander, in N.Y., and through various pretenses obtained a crew of Americans to serve under him. One of these was Henry Ingersoll, a printer from Stockbridge, Mass. The Leander sailed to the West Indies, where Miranda acquired two pilot schooners. The tiny fleet encountered the Spaniards off Caracas and the Leander fled, leaving Ingersoll and some sixty Americans to fall into enemy hands. Ingersoll's narrative was written in two parts sometime after his release from captivity in 1809. Besides giving a description of the voyage, his capture and the fate of the other Americans, Ingersoll includes the text of Miranda's proclamation to the people of South America, and letters between Miranda and officials in Washington, which suggest connivance of the part of the U.S. government in Miranda's abortive rebellion. Includes 56 p. narrative (incomplete?) and a 10 p. partial draft of the concluding chapters. Bound in is a letter from Ingersoll, Ithaca [N.Y.] 1839 Oct. 28, in which he entrusts the manuscript to the care of J.L. O'Sullivan of Washington, D.C., the son of a fellow captive.

The Haitian Revolution has generated responses from commentators in fields ranging from philosophy to historiography to twentieth-century literary and artistic studies. But what about the written work produced at the time, by Haitians? This book is the first to present an account of a specifically Haitian literary tradition in the Revolutionary era. Beyond the Slave Narrative shows the emergence of two strands of textual innovation, both evolving from the new revolutionary consciousness: the remarkable political texts produced by Haitian revolutionary leaders Toussaint Louverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines, and popular Creole poetry from anonymous courtesans in Saint-Domingue's libertine culture. These textual forms, though they differ from each other, both demonstrate the increasing cultural autonomy and literary voice of non-white populations in the colony at the time of revolution. Unschooled generals and courtesans, long presented as voiceless, are at last revealed to be legitimate speakers and authors. These Haitian French and Creole texts have been neglected as a foundation of Afro-diasporic literature by former slaves in the Atlantic world for two reasons: because they do not fit the generic criteria of the slave narrative (which is rooted in the autobiographical experience of enslavement); and because they are mediated texts, relayed to the print-cultural Atlantic domain not by the speakers themselves, but by secretaries or refugee colonists. These texts challenge how we think about authorial voice, writing, print culture, and cultural autonomy in the context of the formerly enslaved, and demand that we reassess our historical understanding of the Haitian Independence and its relationship to an international world of contemporary readers.
