Oroonoko’s noble bearing soon wins the respect of his English captors, but his struggle for freedom brings about his destruction. Inspired by Aphra Behn’s visit to Surinam, Oroonoko (1688) reflects the author’s romantic view of Native Americans as simple, superior peoples ‘in the first state of innocence, before men knew how to sin’. The novel also reveals Behn’s ambiguous attitude to African slavery – while she favoured it as a means to strengthen England’s power, her powerful and moving work conveys its injustice and brutality.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: FictionTopic: Classic Fiction, Literary CriticismRelease Year: 1992 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
