 Race, Women, and the Sentimental in Thomas Southerne's Oroonoko Criticism - Find Articles
Imoinda, the "beautiful fl Venus" of Aphra Behn's Oroonoko (1688), is probably the most well-known of the few representations of dark-skinned African women in early modern literature.(1) Thomas Southerne's 1696 dramatization of Behn's novella is, in its turn, probably best-known for changing the skin color of its Imoinda from fl to white.
For all its audacity--an audacity largely unremarked by his contemporaries--the fl Imoinda's disappearance into whiteness is not the only way in which Southerne re-visions women in his Oroonoko.(3) The play is equally taken up with the sexual disguise of its white comic heroine Charlott Welldon, who masquerades as a man for most of the action.
Revising Southerne as he revised Behn, the play's later adapters experienced its double plot--one strand dealing with the tragic fates of its newly miscegenous African lovers, the other with Charlott's comic maneuvers aimed at finding rich husbands for herself and her sister Lucy in Surinam--as a structural defect.

 Communing with Carnival and Carnival’s Communion -- Essay at LiteratureClassics.com
Thomas Southerne, friend, apprentice and successor of Behn, uses her play as a major antecedent for Sir Anthony Love (1690).
Southerne’s play was popular but had far less staying power than Behn’s, an immeasurable success.
In 1690 Southerne continues Behn’s work in striving to unite carnival laughter with all levels of English society, while some aspects of the trend toward sobriety appear have rubbed off.

 Restoration comedy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The greatest fixed stars among Restoration actors were Elizabeth Barry ("Famous Mrs Barry" who "forc 'd Tears from the Eyes of her Auditory") and Thomas Betterton, both of them active in organising the actors' revolt in 1695 and both original patent-holders in the resulting actors' cooperative.
The few comedies produced also tended to be political in focus, the whig dramatist Thomas Shadwell sparring with the tories John Dryden and Aphra Behn.
Thomas Southerne's dark The Wives' Excuse (1691) is not yet very "soft": it shows a woman miserably married to the fop Friendall, everybody's friend, whose follies and indiscretions undermine her social worth, since her honour is bound up in his.

Thomas Southerne's 1696 dramatization of Behn's novella is, in its turn, probably best-known for changing the skin color of its Imoinda from fl to white.
As her racial and sexual identity are reconstructed in whiteness, Behn's fl Imoinda becomes an early example of the enforced invisibility of the fl female subject in the Americas' dominant cultural discourse.
In turning to Southerne's play as the primal scene of this abduction from representation, I hope to emphasize Oroonoko's cultural vitality after Behn as a site for the deconstruction and reformation of women's racial identities."
