This 2014 edition presents Aphra Behn’s seminal 1688 novella, a foundational work of English prose fiction that chronicles the tragic life of an enslaved African prince. The text explores complex themes of colonialism, power dynamics, and human dignity, rendered through Behn’s unique perspective as an eyewitness to the events in Suriname. This volume serves as a critical examination of early narrative structures and the historical roots of the abolitionist movement.
