Poetry of Aphra Behn
Aphra Behn
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Aphra Behn, 1640-1689, may have been the first person to write a novel in the English language. Details of her life are scant, although she’s known to have been a spy in the court of Charles II. Today she’s remembered mainly through her poetry, prose, and plays. Virginia Woolf name-checked her in “A Room of One’s Own.”
Montague Summers, 1880-1948, is considered a problematic figure by 21st century standards. He wrote often on the subject of evil, some would say obsessively. His other interests included Restoration Era English drama, including the work of Aphra Behn. He published his volume of her works in 1915.
