| 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. |
