description: 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.
