Oronooko: The Royal Slave | Aphra Behn
2 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
I do not pretend, in giving you the history of this Royal Slave, to entertain my reader with adventures of a feigned hero, whose life and fortunes fancy may manage at the poet's pleasure; nor in relating the truth, design to adorn it with any accidents but such as arrived in earnest to him: and it shall come simply into the world, recommended by its own proper merits and natural intrigues; there being enough of reality to support it, and to render it diverting, without the addition of invention.

Probably more interesting as an early novel by a woman and for what it says about racial attitudes than any intrinsic interest of the melodramatic plot.
