When Prince Oroonokos passion for the virtuous Imoinda arouses the jealousy of his grandfather, the lovers are cast into slavery and transported from Africa to the colony of Surinam. Oroonokos noble bearing soon wins the respect of his English captors, but his struggle for freedom brings about his destruction. Inspired by Aphra Behns visit to Surinam, Oroonoko reflects the authors romantic views of native peoples as being in the first state of innocence, before man knew how to sin. The novel also reveals Behns ambiguous attitude toward slavery: while she favored it as a means to strengthen Englands power, her powerful and moving work conveys its injustice and brutality.
和后来的小说相比自然是crude literature,但里面对以基督教为中心价值观的挑战非常前卫。也许由此可见小说的煽动力有多强
评分英国第一位女性职业作家的力作,英国最早期的小说之一。悲剧。
评分The Postcolonial Turn
评分One of the first women writers in 18th Century England. I enjoyed the reading~~~ Her poems and players are actually more fun to read. Well, be aware, very sexual
评分结局扎心 female/power/slavery/culture/religious a little bit?/ betray. 5页翻转,前面像在看童话。最后一页在当下可以说非常ironic了:“no true democracy has ever existed, nor ever will exist."
