Witty, subversive comedies; early feminist theatre.
If you're drawn to the realm of restoration comedy with a touch of feminist flair, Aphra Behn's collection here could be a delightful dive.

Behn's work in "The Rover" and others in this volume is influential, demonstrating how she broke barriers as a female playwright in the 17th century. As you turn the pages of each play, her voice resounds with humor, critique, and an energy that could challenge and entertain any modern reader.

Description
Aphra Behn (1640-89) was both successful and controversial in her own lifetime; her achievements are now recognized less equivocally and her plays, often revived, demonstrate wit, compassion and remarkable range. This edition brings together her most important comedies in a single volume: The Rover, her best-known play; The Feigned Courtesans, a lively comedy of intrigue; The Lucky Chance, a comedy with a bitter edge, which takes a satirical look at marriage customs; and the dazzling and popular farce, The Emperor of the Moon. All the plays have been newly edited and are presented with modernized spelling and punctuation. About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
