This long-awaited Norton Critical Edition of Aphra Behn's best-known and most influential work makes available the original 1688 text, the only text pub-lished in her lifetime. The editor supplies explanatory an-notations and textual notes.
"Historical Backgrounds" is an especially rich collection of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century documents about colonists and slaves of the New World. Topically arranged--"Montaigne on America," "The Settling of Surinam," "Observers of Slavery,1654-1712," "After Oroonoko: Noble Africans in Europe," and "Opinions on Slavery"--these selections create a revealing con-text for Behn's unusual story. Illustrations and maps are added.
"Criticism" begins with an overview of responses to Behn and Oroonoko, from learned and popular writers of her time to Sir Walter Scott and Virginia Woolf, among others. Current critical interpretations are by William C. Spengemann, Jane Spencer, Robert L. Chibka, Laura Brown, Charlotte Sussman, and Mary Beth Rose.
A Selected Bibliography and Chronology of Behn's life are in-cluded.
