The décima, popular since its origin in sixteenth-century Spain, entered Louisiana with late eighteenth century settlers from the Canary Islands. These settlers, known as the Isleños, formed a closely-bound enclave that resisted all outsiders. Slowly, however, natural and economic factors forced them to leave behind their lifestyle of fi shing and trapping and to join the adjacent English-speaking communities. Social change notwithstanding, they have worked as a community to preserve their heritage into the new millennium. One valued memento of their language and culture is the décima. Mixing tradition with community experiences, the Isleños maintained traditional décimas, adopted others, and created their own. (Hispania 447)

Alfred Mercier’s 1881 novel L’Habitation Saint-Ybars ou maîtres et esclaves en Louisiane, récit social (The Saint-Ybars Plantation or Masters and Slaves in Louisiana: A Social Narrative)1 portrays antebellum and postbellum Louisiana—with the Civil War functioning as a rupture, a foreign body that cuts the story in two. The fi rst part of the narrative carefully describes the plantation and the personal dynamics between its members in the period up until the Civil War; the second part unravels the fi rst by showing the plantation house’s steady demise and the deaths of every member of its close-knit community one after the other. At the end of the novel, its main character Pélasge goes back to Europe, leaving nothing behind him—not even the graves of his loved ones, which are completely destroyed in a storm. Mercier’s novel is a literary attempt to posthumously reconstruct a world its author used to know intimately, a meditation on what is left of his Louisiana in the wake of the Civil War and the Reconstruction period. Examining the novel’s historical sources, narrative structure, and concern with the decline of French and Creole languages, I will argue that The Saint-Ybars Plantation is a Proustian remembrance of things past set in Louisiana—an attempt to undo the consequences of the Civil War by recreating a bygone world out of words. Admittedly, Proust emphasized involuntary memory, the phenomenon of recollection without conscious effort that he illustrates in various scenes of his masterpiece In Search of Lost Time (including the famous “madeleine
艾尔弗雷德·默斯埃尔1881年的小说《圣伊巴尔斯庄园》(《圣伊巴尔斯庄园》或《路易斯安那州的主人和奴隶:一种社会叙事》)描绘了内战前后的路易斯安那州，内战作为一个断裂，一个异物将故事一分为二。叙述的第一部分仔细描述了种植园以及内战前种植园成员之间的个人动态;第二部分通过展示种植园房屋的稳定消亡和其紧密联系的社区的每个成员一个接一个的死亡来揭示第一个RST。在小说的最后，主人公passalasge回到了欧洲，没有留下任何东西——甚至他所爱的人的坟墓也没有留下，这些坟墓在一场风暴中被完全摧毁了。梅西埃的小说是一种文学尝试，试图在他死后重建一个他曾经亲密了解的世界，是对他的路易斯安那州在内战和重建时期留下的东西的沉思。考察小说的历史来源、叙事结构以及对法语和克里奥尔语衰落的关注，我认为《圣伊巴尔种植园》是普鲁斯特式的对路易斯安那州往事的回忆——试图通过用文字再现一个过去的世界来消除内战的后果。诚然，普鲁斯特强调了非自愿记忆，即他在代表作《追忆似水》(in Search of Lost Time)的各个场景(包括著名的“madeleine”)中所描述的那种无意识的回忆现象
