Restoration-era poet playwright and novelist Aphra Behn was the first truly professional woman writer in English and Oroonoko is her sophisticated and insightful condemnation of slavery. Oroonokos noble bearing soon wins the respect of his English captors but his struggle for freedom brings about his destruction.
