This collection, edited by Montague Summers, showcases Behn’s boundary-pushing plays and prose, exploring restoration comedy themes, gender and power dynamics, and the shifting tides of colonialism and trade. Each work pulses with the energy of an era determined to question, entertain, and provoke.Behn was a trailblazer - the first Englishwoman to earn her living by the pen - and her voice remains urgent and relevant. Her writing, influenced by contemporaries such as John Dryden and echoing the spirit of Elizabethan and Jacobean literature, is essential for literature students and historical literature enthusiasts alike.
