About the Author

Aphra Behn, orAyfara Behn, of the first professional women authors in English on Britain wrote plays, poetry, and her best known work, the prose fictionOroonoko(1688).Aphra Behn was a prolific dramatist of the Restoration and was one of the female. Her contributed to the amatory genre of literature. People sometimes refer toDelarivier Manley,Eliza Haywood, and her as part of "the fair triumvirate of wit."In reckoning ofAdeline Virginia Stephen Woolf, more important total career of Behn produced any particular work. Woolf wrote, "All women together, ought to let flowers fall upon the grave of Aphra Behn … for it was she who earned them the right to speak their minds."Victoria Mary Sackville-Westcalled Behn "an inhabitant of Grub Street with the best of them, … a phenomenon never seen and … furiously resented."Felix Shellingcalled her "a very gifted woman, compelled to write for bread in an age in which literature … catered habitually to the lowest and most depraved of human inclinations. Her success depended upon her ability to write like a man."Edmund Gosseremarked that "theGeorge Sandof the Restoration" lived the bohemian life in London in the 17th century as Paris two centuries later.
