About the book

Two Tales by Aphra Behn presents fiction by one of the most important and pioneering women writers of the seventeenth century. Behn was among the first English women to earn a living through writing, and her work combines romance, adventure, social observation and political insight. Her stories often examine love, power, loyalty, betrayal and the complicated relationship between individual desire and social convention. Written with energy and intelligence, they provide a fascinating glimpse into Restoration literature while demonstrating Behn's importance in the development of English prose fiction.
