The Fortunate Mistress: Or A History Of The Life Of Mademoiselle De Beleau, Known By The Name Of The Lady Roxana is a novel written by Daniel Defoe and published in 1895. The book tells the story of a young French woman named Roxana, who is forced to flee her homeland after being accused of a crime she did not commit. She travels to England, where she becomes a mistress to a wealthy man and lives a life of luxury. However, when her lover dies, Roxana is forced to make her own way in the world and becomes a courtesan. The novel explores themes of gender, class, and social mobility, and has been praised for its complex portrayal of a female protagonist who is both victim and survivor. The Fortunate Mistress is considered one of Defoe's most controversial works, and has been the subject of much critical debate over the years.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
