Traditionally known as the first professional woman writer in
English, Aphra Behn has now emerged as one of the major figures of
the Restoration. She provided more plays for the stage than any
other author and greatly influenced the development of the novel
with her ground-breaking fiction, especially Love-Letters between a
Nobleman and his Sister and Oroonoko, the first English novel set
in America. Behn's work straddles the genres: beside drama and
fiction, she also excelled in poetry and she made several important
translations from French libertine and scientific works. This
Companion discusses and introduces her writings in all these fields
and provides the critical tools with which to judge their aesthetic
and historical importance. It also includes a full bibliography, a
detailed chronology and a description of the known facts of her
life. The Companion will be an essential tool for the study of this
increasingly important writer and thinker.
