Publisher's Synopsis
The Works of Aphra Behn is a collection of plays, poems, and novels by the English author Aphra Behn, edited and compiled by Montague Summers in 1915. Behn was one of the first women to earn a living as a professional writer in the late 17th century, and her works often explore themes of gender, race, and sexuality. This collection includes some of her most famous works, such as the plays The Rover and The Widow Ranter, as well as lesser-known works like the novel Oroonoko and a selection of her poetry. Summers' introduction provides historical context and analysis of Behn's writing, making this a valuable resource for scholars and fans of early modern literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
