Emperor of the Moon is a play written by Aphra Behn that was first performed in 1687. The play is a comedy that satirizes the scientific and philosophical beliefs of the time, as well as the social and political climate of England during the late seventeenth century. The story revolves around a young woman named Elaria who is courted by two suitors, one of whom claims to be the Emperor of the Moon. The play explores themes of love, power, and the clash between reason and superstition. It is notable for its use of fantastical elements, including a journey to the moon and encounters with lunar creatures. Emperor of the Moon is considered one of Behn's most innovative and imaginative works and is still performed and studied today as a classic of Restoration-era drama.She who by Nature's light and wavering. The Town contains not such a false Impertinent. This Evening I surpris'd her in her Chamber Writing of Verses, and between her Lines, Some Spark had newly pen'd his proper Stuff. Curse of the Jilt, I'll be her Fool no more.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
