Publisher's Synopsis
The Novels of Mrs. Aphra Behn is a collection of the works of the famous English author Aphra Behn, published in 1905. Behn was a prolific writer of the Restoration era, known for her plays, poetry, and novels. This collection includes some of her most famous and influential works, such as Oroonoko, The Fair Jilt, and Love-Letters Between a Nobleman and His Sister. The novels in this collection are known for their exploration of themes such as gender, race, and power, and are considered to be some of the earliest examples of feminist literature. Oroonoko, in particular, is a seminal work in the history of English literature, as it is one of the first English novels to feature a black hero and to address the issue of slavery. The Novels of Mrs. Aphra Behn provides readers with a comprehensive look at Behn's literary output, and offers insight into the cultural and social context of the Restoration era. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students of English literature, as well as for anyone interested in the history of women's writing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
