"Смятат Роксана, последното произведение на Даниъл Дефо (1660 - 1731), публикувано през 1724 г. преди близо 300 години, за първия английски роман, предназначен за жени. За него и за Мол Фландърс, също от Дефо, Върджиния Улф казва, че са от малкото романи, които човек без колебание може да нарече велики. Темата е изумителна за времето си: свободата и независимостта на жените и поробването им от брака. Любопитно е предназначението на романа: несъмнено към него са посягали и мъже, и може би в онези времена все още главно мъже, но за тях той вероятно е бил четиво за пикантни авантюри, докато за жените е бил ... |
