 Though billed as a "comic opera", the story is tragic, based on a often retold tale, one of the betrayal of love by Inkle, an English trader, who is shipwrecked in the West Indies, and survives with the help of Yarico, an Indian maiden. They fall in love, but he ultimately sells her into slavery to cover his losses and enable him to marry well. Actions which he justifies to the West Indian chieftain in the end.
-Richard Ligon's book ''A True and Exact History of the Island of Barbadoes'' (1657) contains the first telling of this supposedly true story, which was then retold by Richard Steele in his ''Spectator'' column (March 1711), in which Yarico is a Native American, sold into slavery while bearing Inkle's child. The story next appeared in Christian Fürchtegott Gellert's popular German trilogy [[Fabeln und Erzählungen]] in 1746, followed by an illustrated [[Dutch]] version in 1772. Indeed the story has also been the subject of a number of drawings and paintings (see for example the 2014 blog by Groninganus[https://groninganus.wordpress.com/2014/11/15/inkle-en-yariko-of-liefde-staat-boven-slavernij/])
