Aphra Behn was England's first professional woman writer, but her
status as a major author has only recently become clear. Between
the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, Behn was denigrated for
her 'unwomanly' subject matter and intellectual immodesty. In the
twentieth century she has been increasingly viewed as an important
dramatist and poet of the Restoration and a founder of the English
novel. This book sets Behn firmly in an historical context of
political factions, theatre developments and colonial encounters,
and includes chapters on each of the genres in which she wrote:
drama, fiction, poetry and translation, and on other aspects of her
life, from her publishing struggles to her involvement in American
slavery. It is an important resource for those studying
seventeenth-century English literature and drama, and to those
interested in the development of women's writing.
