The Works of Aphra Behn, Volume II

by Aphra Behn from c. 1680s (Behn Vol. II)

About

The second volume of Behn's collected works continues the record of Restoration England's most radical woman playwright. Behn wrote with a freedom about sexual desire — from a woman's perspective — that was unprecedented and would not be equaled for centuries. This volume likely includes The Lucky Chance (1686) and other late plays, in which Behn's mastery of comic construction and her sympathy for women trapped in arranged marriages produce some of the period's most politically charged entertainments.
