Book Description:

Once merely a footnote in Restoration and eighteenth century studies and rarely taught, Oroonoko; or, The Royal Slave (1688), by Aphra Behn, is now essential reading. Part 1 of this volume, "Materials", provides not only resources for the teacher of Oroonoko but also a brief chronology of Behn's life and work. In part 2, "Approaches", essays offer a diversity of perspectives appropriate to a text that challenges student assumptions and contains not one story but many.
