Paranoid Fish reviewed Oroonoko, The rover, and other works by Janet Todd (Penguin classics)
a mixed bag
I liked the prose and also some of the poems. I think they both aged well. The first play, "The Rover", was funny and entertaining, though a bit long, but I didn't like the second play, which I found tedious and hard to follow; probably because there were too many characters in it, whom I kept mixing up.
