A Comparison of Persian Letters and Oroonoko
Number of pages:
5
ABSTRACT:
A 5 page analysis of the Persian Letters by Montesquieu, published in 1721, and Oroonoko: or The Royal Slave, a true history by Aphra Behn, published in 1688. These are two early examples of the art of writing a novel. They both take the stance that their subject material actually existed, and they both build a structure around the perspective of the imagined cultural 'other' as the basic context of each work. No additional sources cited.
