The Rover, or, The Banished Cavaliers is the most popular play by
the Restoration playwright (and spy) Aphra Behn, first performed in
1677. Although Behn's work as a spy for Charles II came to a sudden
end with a spell in debtor's prison, she was a stout Royalist, and
the title refers to Charles' supporters, who were living in exile
on the Continent. In the tradition of Restoration comedy, the play
follows the wild exploits of a group of English gentlemen in Naples
at Carnival time, although many of the tropes of the genre are
subverted to an extent which sent shockwaves through the theatre
world. Behn's infamous libertine Willmore was an instant hit, and
The Rover catapulted her to overnight fame, and brought her an
income from the box office, making her one of the first women to
earn a living by their pen.
