Renard Press Ltd

First published in 1688, Oroonoko, or, The Royal Slave is a short, politically charged novella by the Restoration playwright \u2013 and spy \u2013 Aphra Behn, and is arguably one of the founding texts of the novel form. Purporting to chart the life of an African prince, Oroonoko, who is tricked into slavery and taken to South America, the narrative follows the Prince through his trials of love, loss and rebellion.Vying for the title of the first English novel \u2013 and certainly the first to be read as an indictment of the treatment of Africans \u2013 Oroonoko has all the hallmarks of Behn's stage works, which are widely considered to be amongst the most important of the Restoration period.\n\nOroonoko\nOr, The Royal Slave\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note that the price advertised is as low as we can go, we do not accept offers.\n\nFirst published in 1688, Oroonoko, or, The Roy;
