Roxana: or, The Fortunate Mistress (Broadview Editions)
- Used Book in Good Condition
Almost three hundred years after its first publication, Roxana continues to challenge readers, who, though compelled by Roxanaâ€™s story, are often baffled by her complex relationships to her children, her fortune, and her vices. As one of Daniel Defoeâ€™s four major fictions, Roxana has long been understood as central to the history of the novel, and provides readers with Defoeâ€™s sharpest and most specific commentary on the complexities of life in seventeenth-century London. This edition offers a range of contemporary documents that will help readers understand the struggles of Roxanaâ€™s life as series of metaphoric engagements with pressing issues of her time.
