NOTES

Daniel Defoe's last novel, 'Roxana: The Fortunate Mistress' is a biographical account of a woman's fight for survival. Having recently become penniless, Roxana is forced to resort to sexual services in order to keep herself afloat. Defoe's flair for depicting female struggle render this a deeply human novel, unmissable for those who enjoyed Defoe's own 'Moll Flanders'
