Abstract
Marceline Desbordes-Valmore's semi-fictionalized encounter with colonial culture in "Sarah" has not received the critical attention it merits until recently. Belatedness, in fact, marks the composition, publication, and reception of the novella. Displaced, and even replaced, by the biographical fallacy governing Desbordes-Valmore's reception, "Sarah" authorizes a reflection on slavery that challenges metropole-centric imperial history.
