Abstract
This essay examines French Romanticism's narration of colonial intimacies, considering interracial encounters in the realms of domesticity, child-rearing, kinship, friendship, and sexuality. The works studied are set in French colonies in the Indian Ocean and the Caribbean, and are authored by Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, George Sand, and Alphonse de Lamartine.
