Aphra Behn's wit and daring defined an age. In The Works Of Aphra Behn (Volume VI), readers are invited into the vibrant world of Restoration literature, where early modern drama and English prose anthology meet the pulse of 17th century England. 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. Whether you are captivated by the intrigue of restoration period works or fascinated by the interplay of society and stage, this volume offers both a rewarding reading experience and a vital resource for understanding the complexities of early modern England. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
