Roxana purports tobe the autobiography of Mademoiselle de Beleau,the wilful daughter of French Protestant Refugees.Roxana and her career of prosperous wickedness fascinate the reader because they clearly help an irresistible fascination for for Defoe himself.And no wonder; for this beatutiful , ambitious,unscrupulus woman,who begins as the wife of a brewer by whom she has five children, moves through a series of adventures in England and on the Continent, to become the mistress of a French prince, an English lord and finally, it is hinted, of the King himself.
