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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe play is widely 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aphra Behn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1408152118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781408152119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Methuen Drama\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/06\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Aphra Behn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079798845695,"sku":"9781408152119","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cb313985-4d4c-48a0-a8f8-537146b71dff.jpg?v=1685483206","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-rover-aphra-behn-9781408152119","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
