Description: Approaches to Teaching Behn's Oroonoko, Paperback by Richards, Cynthia (EDT); O'Donnell, Mary Ann (EDT), ISBN 1603291288, ISBN-13 9781603291286, Brand New, Free shipping in the US
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 for scholars and a classroom favorite. It appears in general surveys and in courses on early modern British writers, postcolonial literature, American literature, womens literature, drama, the slave narrative, and autobiography.
Part 1 of this volume, "Materials," provides not only resources for the teacher of Oroonoko but also a brief chronology of Behns 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: Oroonoko as a romance, as a travel account, as a heroic tragedy, as a window to seventeenth-century representations of race, as a reflection of Tory-Whig conflict in the time of Charles II.
