Aphra Behn (1640-1689) is renowned as the first professional woman
of literature and drama in English. Her career in the Restoration
theatre extended over two decades, encompassing remarkable generic
range and diversity. Her last five plays, written and performed
between 1682 and 1696, include city comedies (The City-Heiress, The
Luckey Chance), a farce (The Emperor of the Moon), a tragicomedy
(The Widdow Ranter), and a comedy of family inheritance (The
Younger Brother). These plays exemplify Behn's skills in writing
for individual performers, and exhibit the topical political
engagement for which she is renowned. They witness to Behn's
popularity with theatre audiences during the politically and
financially difficult years of the 1680s and even after her death.
Informed by the most up-to-date research in computational
attribution, this fully annotated edition draws on recent
scholarship to provide a comprehensive guide to Behn's work, and
the literary, theatrical and political history of the Restoration.
