Description - The Works of Aphra Behn (Set) by Janet Todd
The first complete edition of the works of Aphra Behn, including several new attributions. Drawing on a mass of new material in private papers and the Public Records Office, Janet Todd has discovered texts which reveal Behn as a far more enigmatic figure than she initially appears to be. The texts are published with extensive notes, textual introductions and variant readings. Aphra Behn (1640-1689) was one of the most successful dramatists of the Restoration theatre, a popular poet and author of the influential novel Oroonoko. She was the first woman to earn her living by writing and amid her many travels was sent by Charles II as a spy to Antwerp during the Anglo-Dutch War. Because of the overtly political nature of many of her plays and poems, much of her writing appeared anonymously and in many different versions.
