Featuring multiple plot lines, which deal with the adventures of a group of love-struck Englishmen in Naples, Aphra Behn's play explores issues of love, trickery and deception, forced marriage, male power, fidelity, and the excesses of sexual passion. Hers is a male-dominated society, but one with a clear-sighted portrayal of the female predicament. The play is widley taught on A Level courses as well as on undergraduate literature and women's writing courses. This new edition contains a completely new introduction, and takes into account important criticism from the past decade, as well as a new understanding of the nature of theatre in Behn's time, and the significance of her contribution to English drama.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47509010514078,"sku":"UBD-9781408152119","price":22.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781408152119.jpg?v=1780639437","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781408152119","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
