Aphra Behn (1640-89) was both successful and controversial in her
own lifetime; her achievements are now recognized less equivocally
and her plays, often revived, demonstrate wit, compassion and
remarkable range. This edition brings together her most important
comedies in a single volume: The Rover, her best-known play; The
Feigned Courtesans, a lively comedy of intrigue; The Lucky Chance,
a comedy with a bitter edge, which takes a satirical look at
marriage customs; and the dazzling and popular farce, The Emperor
of the Moon. Under the General Editorship of Michael Cordner of the
University of York, the plays have been newly edited and are
presented with modernized spelling and punctuation. Detailed
annotation helps the reader to visualize the plays in performance
and the Introduction argues for the importance of Behn's skilful
stagecraft and her great success as an entertainer. ABOUT THE
SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made
available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship,
providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable
features, including expert introductions by leading authorities,
helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for
further study, and much more.
