L'histoire de cette belle dame porte avec elle son propre t moignage. Si elle n'est pas aussi belle que la dame m me est repr sent e l' tre, si elle n'est pas aussi divertissante que le lecteur le peut d sirer, ni beaucoup plus qu'il ne peut raisonnablement s'y attendre, et si toutes les parties les plus divertissantes n'en sont pas appropri es l'instruction et au perfectionnement du lecteur, le narrateur d clare que ce doit tre la faute de son r cit; il aura habill l'histoire de v tements inf rieurs ceux que la dame dont il rapporte les paroles, pr parait pour l'offrir au monde. Il prend la libert de dire que ce r cit diff re de la plupart des pi ces contemporaines de ce genre, bien que quelques-unes d'entre elles aient rencontr dans le monde un tr s bon accueil. Je dis qu'il en diff re en un point consid rable et essentiel, savoir qu'il est fond sur la v rit des faits; de sorte que l'oeuvre n'est pas un conte, mais une histoire. La sc ne est plac e si pr s du lieu o la partie principale de l'action s'est pass e, qu'il a t n cessaire de d guiser les noms et les personnages, de peur que le souvenir d' v nements, qui ne sauraient tre encore compl tement oubli s dans ce quartier de la ville, ne soit raviv , et que les faits ne puissent tre restitu s trop clairement par bon nombre de gens vivant encore aujourd'hui, qui, par les d tails, reconna traient les personnages. Il n'est pas toujours n cessaire que les noms des personnages se d couvrent, et l'histoire peut n'en tre pas moins utile de mainte fa on. Si nous tions toujours oblig ou de nommer les personnages, ou de ne pas faire le r cit, il en r sulterait cette seule cons quence: c'est que beaucoup d'histoires agr ables et charmantes seraient ensevelies dans l'ombre, et que le monde serait la fois priv du plaisir et du profit qu'il y trouve. L'auteur d clare qu'il connaissait particuli rement le premier mari de cette dame, le brasseur, et son p re, et aussi ses difficult s d'argent; et il sait que toute cette premi re partie du r cit est vraie.

Roxana est cens tre l'autobiographie de la belle mademoiselle Beleau, fille de r fugi s protestants, lev e en Angleterre et mari e au fils d'un brasseur. Ce bon- -rien dilapide ses biens et abandonne sa femme, alors g e de vingt-deux ans, et ses cinq enfants. Pour survivre et nourrir sa famille, Roxana se tourne vers la prostitution et devient la ma tresse du propri taire de la demeure o elle r sidait avec son mari, puis se lie de nombreux aristocrates et hommes d'affaires anglais, fran ais et hollandais. Elle prend le nom de Roxana, donn comme par accident alors qu'elle ex cute une danse audacieuse apr s son retour du continent en Angleterre, et devient une c l bre courtisane. Tout au long de l'histoire, elle est suivie et servie par sa fid le bonne, Amy, personne attachante, remarquable de vivacit et d'intelligence. Apr s maintes aventures avec des hommes et des femmes qui, curieusement, s'av rent plut t honn tes et n'essaient pas de tirer avantage de cette belle jeune femme abandonn e et en d tresse, d'o le titre du roman, l'Heureuse Catin, elle finit par pouser un marchand hollandais qui a longtemps t son amant et protecteur, dont elle a eu un fils, et le couple s'installe en Hollande en toute respectabilit . la fin de l'histoire, le marchand d couvre le pass sulfureux de sa femme et meurt peu apr s lui avoir l gu une petite part de sa fortune. Le d nouement de Roxana reste un sujet de controverse, le roman ayant t publi anonymement et subi plusieurs ditions douteuses. Alors que lors de la premi re parution en 1724, Defoe n'avait pas retenu cette version, toutes, y compris l'Oxford Companion to English Literature, font mourir Roxana dans le repentir.

Le roman est une r flexion sur les dangers d'une ambition effr n e et les conflits entre cette ambition et les lois civiles et morales. C'est aussi un manifeste f ministe, car il exalte la libert d'une femme jusqu' la licence. Cependant, Defoe prend garde de temp rer cette tendance en faisant de son h ro ne une criminelle: en un ultime d sir de respectabilit , Roxana pouse un titre de noblesse et rencontre peu apr s sa fille qui a t t moin de ses frasques pass es. Alors, afin de ne pas voir son nouveau statut r duit n ant, elle laisse sans vergogne ni remords son alter ego Amy la supprimer.

'I liv'd indeed like a Queen; or if you will have me confess, that my Condition had still the Reproach of a Whore, I may say, I was sure, the Queen of Whores.' Left destitute by her husband, the heroine of Defoe's final novel has to choose between her virtue and her life. Choosing survival, she makes her way as a kept woman and courtesan. The Fortunate Mistress (1724), also known under the title Roxana, tells the story of how she climbs society's ladder by dint of her own enterprise, shedding and gaining multiple identities as she moves through the worlds of business and finance, and across the trade capitals of Europe. Amassing a fortune, her taste for men and luxuries veers increasingly to the aristocratic and exotic, culminating when she dances before the King at a masquerade dressed in the garb of a Turkish Sultana--at which point she is granted the name by which she is known to history, Roxana. Despite her rise, Roxana's past never recedes from view, and her choices eventally begin to weigh on her, prompting an excruciating self-reckoning that is only compounded as the children she has abandoned return, threatening to expose this past to public view. Defoe resists easy solutions in a sprawling and complex novel which shows an unprecedented degree of psychological realism: readers experience the interplay of circumstance, need, desire, religion, and social convention that can allow the development of a moral sense, or conspire to suppress it. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Moll's mother is a convict in Newgate Prison in London who is given a reprieve by "pleading her belly," a reference to the custom of staying the executions of pregnant criminals. Her mother is eventually transported to Colonial United States, and Moll Flanders (not her birth name, she emphasizes, taking care not to reveal it) is raised from the age of three until adolescence by a goodly foster mother. Thereafter she gets attached to a household as a servant where she is loved by both sons, the elder of whom convinces her to "act like they were married" in bed. Unwilling to marry her, he persuades her to marry his younger brother. After five years of marriage, she then is widowed, leaves her children in the care of in-laws, and begins honing the skill of passing herself off as a fortuned widow to attract a man who will marry her and provide her with security. The first time she does this, her "gentleman-tradesman" spendthrift husband goes bankrupt and flees to the Continent, leaving her on her own with his blessing to do the best she can to forget him. (They had one child together, but "it was buried.") The second time, she makes a match that leads her to Virginia with a kindly man who introduces her to his mother. After three children (one dies), Moll learns that her mother-in-law is actually her biological mother, which makes her husband her half-brother. She dissolves their marriage and after continuing to live with her brother for three years, travels back to England, leaving her two children behind, and goes to live in Bath to seek a new husband................... Roxana: The Fortunate Mistress (full title: The Fortunate Mistress: Or, A History of the Life and Vast Variety of Fortunes of Mademoiselle de Beleau, Afterwards Called the Countess de Wintselsheim, in Germany, Being the Person known by the Name of the Lady Roxana, in the Time of King Charles II) is a 1724 novel by Daniel Defoe.PLOT: Born in France, from which her parents fled because of religious persecution, Roxana grew to adolescence in England. At the age of fifteen, she married a handsome but conceited man. After eight years of marriage, during which time her husband went through all of their money, Roxana is left penniless with five children. She appeals for aid to her husband's relatives, all of whom refuse her except one old aunt, who is in no position to help her materially. Amy, Roxana's maid, refuses to leave her mistress although she receives no wages for her work. Another poor old woman whom Roxana had aided during her former prosperity adds her efforts to those of the old aunt and Amy. These good people manage to extract money from the relatives of the children's father, and all five of the little ones are given over to the care of the poor old woman. Roxana is penniless and at the point of despair when Mr. --, her landlord, after expressing his admiration for her, praises her fortitude under all of her difficulties and offers to set her up in housekeeping. He returns all the furniture he had confiscated, gives her food and money, and generally conducts himself with such kindness and candor that Amy urges Roxana to become the gentleman's mistress should he ask it. Roxana, however, clings to her virtuous independence. Fearing that the gentleman's kindness will go unrewarded, Amy, because she loves her mistress, offers to lie with the landlord in Roxana's place. This offer, however, Roxana refuses to consider. The two women talk much about the merits of the landlord, his motive in befriending Roxana, and the moral implications of his attentions..... Daniel Defoe (13 September 1660 - 24 April 1731), born Daniel Foe, was an English trader, writer, journalist, pamphleteer and spy. He is most famous for his novel Robinson Crusoe, which is second only to the Bible in its number of translations......
