Extractions: Aphra Behn ( 33k JPG image ), alleged by Vita Sackville-West to be the first women in England to earn a living as a writer, is a bit of a mystery. Little is known about her backgroundwho her parents were and where she was bornbut the details of her life that are known paint the portrait of an intriguing woman. Aphra lived for a time in Surinam, an experienced that inspired her first novel, Oroonoko, or The Royal Slave (1688). She was married for a short time and widowed at age 25. She secured employment as a spy for King Charles II and was sent to Belgium in this capacity. The King refused to pay her return trip, however, and after borrowing the funds to return, she was thrown into debtor's prison. After leaving prison, Aphra worked hard to make sure she was always capable of supporting herself. She became a successful London playwright and then a novelist. She wrote poetry, feeling that this form allowed her to express her "masculine" side. Aphra's opinions were unconventional, and because she openly expressed her viewpoints in her lifestyle and through her writing, she was seen as scandalous. Her poetry remarks on romantic relationships with both men and women, discusses rape and impotence, puts forth a woman's right to sexual pleasure, and includes scenes of eroticism between men.

Extractions: Had the Plays I have writ come forth under any Man's Name, and never known to have been mine; I appeal to all unbyast Judges of Sense, if they had not said that Person had made as many good Comedies, as any one Man that has writ in our Age; but a Devil on't the Woman damns the poet....All I ask, is the Priviledge for my Masculine Part the Poet in me. Preface, The Lucky Chance Aphra Behn differed from the women playwrights who came before her in that she was "forced to write for Bread and not ashamed to own it" ("To the Reader," Sir Patient Fancy ). Little is known about her life prior to 1666 when she went to Antwerp as a secret agent for the English government. Penniless and in debt, she returned to England in 1667 where, despite appeals to the government, she was put in debtor's prison. Upon her release, "the Rest of her Life was entirely dedicated to Pleasure and Poetry; the success in which, gain'd her the Acquaintance and Friendship of the most sensible Men of the Age" ("Memoirs on the Life of Mrs. Aphra Behn). Between 1670 and 1689, Aphra Behn produced 17 extant plays, plus numerous poems, novels, and translations. Aphra Behn did not look upon playwrighting as a frivolous affair, but used the stage to voice her strong opinions on politics and English society. In both The Town Fop (1676) and The Lucky Chance (1686) she attacked the idea of forced marriages, which were all too common in her day for her tastes, believing that marriage should be based on love, not duty.

Extractions: A B C D ... Scholars Index Aphra Behn Studies by Janet M. Todd (Editor) Aphra Behn was England's first professional woman writer, but her status as a major author has only recently become clear. Between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries Behn was denigrated for her 'unwomanly' subject matter and intellectual immodesty. In the twentieth century she has been increasingly viewed as an important dramatist and poet of the Restoration and a founder of the English novel.This collection forms an important resource for those studying seventeenth century English literature and drama, and to those interested in the development of women's writing.

Aphra Behn - Author Of The Rover And Oroonoko
Biography of the first professional female playwright, plus links to all of her works currently in print.
http://www.imagi-nation.com/moonstruck/clsc17.htm

Extractions: Aphra Behn Before becoming a professional writer, Aphra Behn was a professional spy for England, code-named "Astrea" or Agent 160. She was the first professional female writer in England, and for the first twenty years of her career, she was the only female playwright. It was rumored that she was James II's mistress. However, we know very little else about her life. The Restoration , as a period, was badly documented, and the institutions that did keep records, Oxford and Cambridge, the Inns of Court and the Middle Temple, excluded women from their ranks. So our understanding of Ms. Behn's life must depend on the writings she left behind, the voices of her characters, the repeated themes and expressions. Perhaps as a result of her one certain activity, espionage, Ms. Behn was fascinated with the entanglement of sex and power, both in the personal and political spheres. And because this was considered an inappropriate subject for a woman, she was, for centuries after her death, simply regarded as a smutty writer. The Marquis of Halifax went so far as to blame Behn for the oppression of other women when he remarked, "The unjustifiable freedom of some of your sex have involved the rest in the penalty of being reduced." In recent years, however, Ms. Behn has been rediscovered by a more liberal generation of readers and performers. Her plays are now read throughout the English-speaking world and are regarded not as vulgar sexploits, but rather as legitimate and sensual explorations of gender, race and class.

http://www.pemberley.com/janeinfo/bhnufhpl.html

Extractions: Go to other e-texts I have no idea whether this story is great literature or not, but it struck me as interesting for the light it throws on the fantasy life and daydreams of women in late 17th-century England. It's also kind of fun to read, if you can appreciate a little juicy melodrama, and aren't put off by the excessive italicizing . The story was first published in 1698 or 1700, after Aphra Behn's death, but from the remark about King Charles II , was apparently written before 1685. This text is scanned in from Volume V of the Collected Works , published in 1916; quotation marks were added, and some of the more obfuscatory punctuation was tampered with to improve readability.

Extractions: is of course given to the Persian language (in four columns); the three Susian (Elamitic) columns lie to the left, and the Babylonian text is on a slanting boulder above them; a part of the Babylonian has been destroyed by a torrent, which has made its way over it. In former times the second language has often been called Scythian, Turanian or Median; but we now know from numerous inscriptions of Susa that it is the language of Elam which was spoken in Susa, the capital of the Persian empire. In 1835 the difficult and almost inaccessible cliff was first climbed by Sir Henry Rawlinson, who copied and deciphered the inscriptions (18351845), and thus completed the reading of the old cuneiform text and laid the foundation of the science of Assyriology. Diodorusii. 13 (cf. Xvii. 110), probably following a later author who wrote the history of Alexanders campaigns, mentions the sculptures and inscriptions, but attributes them to Semiramis. At the foot of the rock are the remainders of some other sculptures (quite destroyed), the fragments of a Greek inscription of the Parthian prince Gotarzes (A.D. 40; text in Dittenberger, Orientis gracci inscr. seleclae, 110. 431), and of an Arabic inscription. See Sir IIenry Rawlinson in the Journ. R. Geog. Soc. ix., 1839; J. R. Asiatic Soc. x. 1866, xiv., 1853, xv., 1855; Archaeologia, xxxiv., 1852; Sir R.
