Publisher's Synopsis
 
Aphra Behn (1640-89) had a colourful and intriguing career. Her novel 'Oroonoko' has always held its place in the literary canon, and there have been modern revivals of her plays in print and on stage. But much of her best work is to be discovered in her poetry- in the versatile form and content of her translations, occasional pieces, satires and songs- above all, in her radical exploration of the relationships between the sexes. Both candid and subtle, the piquancy of her work derives from the woman's point of view.
