Recensione:

All women together ought to let flowers fall upon the tomb of Aphra Behn, for it was she who earned them the right to speak their minds. --Virginia Woolf

Viewed with a mind open to the political and social climates of its time, The Rover is a resoundingly funny lark, with a host of hearty and toothsome characterisations of the stereotypes of the day. --British Theatre Guide

L'autore:

Aphra Behn (10 July 1640 16 April 1689) was a prolific dramatist of the English Restoration and was one of the first English professional female writers. Her writing contributed to the amatory fiction genre of British literature. Having worked as a spy for Charles II against the Dutch, Behn's meager income was lost when the king refused to pay her expenses. She turned to writing to make a living.
