Description
Aphra Behn Studies by Janet Todd provides an important resource for those studying seventeenth century English literature and drama. This collection sheds new light on the life and work of England's first professional woman writer, whose status as a major author has only recently become clear.
Behn's writing was once denigrated for its "unwomanly" subject matter and intellectual immodesty, but in recent years she has been increasingly viewed as a leading dramatist of the Restoration and a founder of the English novel. This book forms a valuable contribution to our understanding of her work.
For scholars and readers interested in the development of women's writing during this period, Aphra Behn Studies offers a unique insight into the life and writings of one of England's most fascinating literary figures.
