Description

First published in 1688, Oroonoko follows the tragic love story of a charismatic African prince and his beloved Imoinda. The eponymous hero is tricked into slavery and sold to European colonists in Surinam. Behn's moving and deeply empathetic tale is structured as a first-person account of Oroonoko's life, love, rebellion, and execution. 


This Warbler Classics edition includes an historically illuminating article by George Jay Smith from 1925 and an essay that provides context for Oroonoko, Behn's most famous story, by Janet Todd, whose biography Aphra Behn: A Secret Life was published in 2017.
