Aphra Behn??'s novel Oroonoko (1688) is one of the most widely
studied works of seventeenth-century literature, because of its
powerful representation of slavery and complex portrayal of ways in
which differing races and cultures - European, Black African, and
Native American - observe and misinterpret each other. This edition
presents a new edition of Oroonoko, with unprecedentedly full and
informative commentary, along with complete texts of three major
British seventeenth-century works concerned with race and
colonialism: Henry Neville??'s The Isle of Pines (1668), Behn??'s
Abdelazer (1676), and Thomas Southerne??'s tragedy Oroonoko (1696).
It combines these with a rich anthology of European discussions of
slavery, racial difference, and colonial conquest from the
mid-sixteenth century to the time of Behn??'s death. Many are taken
from important works that have not hitherto been easily available,
and the collection offers an unrivaled resource for studying the
culture that produced Britain??'s first major fictions of slavery.
