The Works of Aphra Behn Volume V is a comprehensive collection of literary works by the pioneering female writer Aphra Behn. This volume showcases Behn's exceptional talent in various genres including plays, poetry, and prose.
One of the standout features of the book is Behn's ability to effectively capture the complexities of human emotions and relationships. Her plays are particularly notable for their wit, humor, and sharp observations on society. The poems included in this volume showcase Behn's lyrical prowess and her ability to evoke powerful emotions in her readers.
Another highlight of this collection is Behn's prose writings, which cover a wide range of topics such as politics, love, and morality. Her prose is both thought-provoking and entertaining, making it a joy to read.
Overall, The Works of Aphra Behn Volume V is a must-read for anyone interested in literature, particularly those interested in exploring the writings of female authors from the 17th century. Behn's work remains relevant and engaging even today, making this volume a valuable addition to any bookshelf. If "oe" displays as a single character, and apostrophes and quotation marks are "curly" or angled, you have the UTF 8 version (best). If any part of this paragraph displays as garbage, try changing your text reader's "character set" or "file encoding".

Apostrophes and quotation marks will be straight ("typewriter" form). Again, if you see any garbage in this paragraph and can't get it to display properly, use: The ASCII 7 or rock bottom version. All necessary text will still be there; it just won't be as pretty. Note that in the Introduction to "Agnes de Castro", the name "Constança" has a cedilla and "Peñafiel" has a tilde.
