Plays 1682–1696: Volume 4, The Plays 1682–1696

'This is an encyclopaedic edition, with a full command of modern historical scholarship and of contemporary plays, pamphlets and polemics … Behn's is a witty, humorous, indignant, but pessimistic and truly distinctive voice. This fine edition allows it to be heard clearly for our time and, with luck, will lead to more performances of her plays. In the meantime, one thing is sure: that Aphra Behn would have relished the new attention and publicity it brings and, since she complained about the negligence of her printers, the extreme care of the production.' Derek Hughes and Janet Todd, The Times Literary Supplement
'No doubt this richly annotated collection will facilitate a wealth of further inspiring discussion on Behn in the future.' Amelia Mills, Women's Writing
'an impressive production that does full justice to Behn's now canonical status… this first glimpse into the Cambridge Edition offers a refreshing presentation of Behn's oeuvre, setting her texts in light of recent scholarly interests and in a wealth of contextual detail regarding Restoration English culture that has become increasingly available in recent years … the series promises to become not only the indispensable scholarly resource for all serious research on Behn, but also an indispensable collection for all serious research on Restoration culture.' The Review of English Studies
