520 _aThis essay investigates the notion of circulation in Daniel Defoe’s Roxana as a founding metaphor for the construction of the character-narrator and the narration itself. It analyses the references to navigation, exoticism and commerce that abound in Defoe’s novel to describe Roxana’s social and geographical mobility, and outlines her constant changes of identity, as well as her dual evolution in the world of prostitution and that of business. The study explores this double status, and shows that the novel is built on the contrast between the circulation of people, objects and narratives, and situations of stasis and blockage.
