Overview
Aphra Behn's literary reputation was only really secured in the closing decade of this century, especially by new historicist and feminist critics. The essays collected here present the best of a range of contemporary critical views, discussing both Behn's drama and her prose writings. Janet Todd, a leading Behn scholar, situates the works of the critics included in a broad literary context.Editorials
