Book excerpt: Oroonoko is a novel by Aphra Behn, published in 1688, concerning the love of its hero, an enslaved African in Surinam in the 1660s, and the author's own experiences in the new South American colony. It is one of the earliest English novels. Interest in it has increased since the 1970s, critics arguing that Behn is the foremother of British women writers, and that Oroonoko is a crucial text in the history of the novel. Aphra Behn (baptised 14 December 1640 – 16 April 1689) was a prolific dramatist of the English Restoration, the first English professional female literary writer. Her writing contributed to the amatory fiction genre of British literature. Along with Delarivier Manley and Eliza Haywood, she is sometimes referred to as part of "The fair triumvirate of wit." Behn's work Oroonoko (1688) is critically acknowledged as important to the development of the English novel. She was also a key writer in seventeenth century theatre. She is perhaps best known to modern audiences for her short novel.

Book excerpt: Oroonoko: or, the Royal Slave is a short work of prose fiction by Aphra Behn, published in 1688. The narrator opens with an account of the colony of Surinam and its native people. Within this is a historical tale concerning the grandson of an African king, Prince Oroonoko. The story follows him as he falls in love, is sold into slavery, is betrayed by his grandfather, becomes reunited with the woman he loves, and leads a slaves revolt which ends in tragedy. Not immediately successful in her own lifetime, Oroonoko is now the most studied of Aphra Behn's novels. Researchers today cannot say whether or not the narrator of Oroonoko represents Aphra Behn and, if so, tells the truth. Scholars have argued for over a century about whether or not Behn even visited Surinam. This book has 74 pages in the PDF version, and was originally published in 1688.

Book excerpt: The best-known work by Aphra Behn, Oroonoko is an important contribution to the development of the novel in English. Though it predates the British abolition movement by more than a century, it is also an early depiction of the dehumanizing racial violence of slavery; Oroonoko tells of a noble African prince enslaved and taken to Surinam, where he leads a violent revolt of the enslaved. This edition offers helpful annotations, an informative introduction, and contextual materials situating Oroonoko in the context of seventeenth-century slavery and the colonization of Surinam. The early reception of Oroonoko is also documented.
