In the centurey or so after Behn and other female playwrights of the Restoration, women took thier place among men as dramatists; this was a still period, however, when women often met with hostile reception and ingrained male prejudice. The plays in this anthology show the range of work that women were writing for the stage, from immensely sucessful comeedies about love and marraige to social satire, melodrama and tragedy.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Why another classics series? Until now, there were only two options--to buy your chosen classic in an authoritative and academic but prohibitively expensive edition, or pick it up dirt cheap, but poorly printed, with the basic text presented in almost illegible print. Toby Classics introduce a better option: the world's most enduringly popular classics, newly reset, on quality paper in larger size (8½" x 5½"), edited with new introductory essays by respected academics in the field--at an affordable price. All titles are available in either paperback or durable library hardcover binding.
