Description
Aphra Behn's The Rover and Other Plays brings together four of her most significant comedies in a single volume. This edition, newly edited and presented with modernized spelling and punctuation, showcases Behn's remarkable range and wit. The plays, including The Feigned Courtesans and The Lucky Chance, offer a satirical look at marriage customs and the lives of women in 17th-century England. Detailed annotation helps to visualize the plays in performance, while an introduction argues for the importance of Behn's skilful stagecraft and her success as an entertainer. This collection is part of the Oxford World's Classics series, which has made available a wide range of literature from around the globe for over 100 years. With its affordable price and wealth of valuable features, including expert introductions and helpful notes, this edition is an ideal choice for readers interested in 17th-century drama and the works of Aphra Behn.
