The Fortunate Mistress

or, a History of the Life of Mademoiselle de Bealau Known by the Name of Lady Roxana

More about the book

The narrative centers on a woman's tumultuous journey as she navigates a life marked by the exchange of her virtue for survival, fame, and fortune. As the mistress of affluent men, she reveals her resourcefulness and sharp self-analysis while grappling with the costs of her choices. Unlike Defoe's typical protagonists, she does not overcome her flaws, instead becoming ensnared by wealth and ambition. Roxana's story is a complex exploration of the harsh realities and lessons learned in her pursuit of a better life as a "Fortunate Mistress."
