It appears in general surveys and in courses on early modern British writers, postcolonial literature, American literature, women's literature, drama, the slave narrative, and autobiography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 1 of this volume, \"Materials,\" provides not only resources for the teacher of \u003cem\u003eOroonoko\u003c\/em\u003e but also a brief chronology of Behn's life and work.
