A famous Restoration playwright, Mrs Behn was perhaps the first woman in England who wrote to make a living. These are novelettes, not plays. The tragic tale of Prince Oroonoko's enslavement is followed by the story of Miranda, a woman who is as devious, sexually aggressive, and envious of power as any man could ever be.
