Roxana Or The Fortunate Mistress is a novel written by Daniel Defoe and published in 1724. The book tells the story of a woman named Roxana, who is born into poverty and becomes a courtesan in London. She marries a wealthy man, but leaves him when she falls in love with another man. Roxana has several children throughout her life, and her relationships with men are often complicated and fraught with danger. Despite the challenges she faces, Roxana is able to maintain her independence and financial stability through her own cunning and resourcefulness. The book is considered a classic of English literature, and is notable for its portrayal of a strong, independent female character in a time when women were often marginalized in society. The 1871 edition of the book, published by Mrs. Christian Davies, includes an introduction and notes by the editor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
