62. Aphra Behn: Women's History back, behn, aphra (16401689). aphra behn was a dramatist, novelist, and poet. Using the pen name Astraea, she was the first woman http://www2.worldbook.com/features/whm/html/whm098.html

Behn, Aphra (1640-1689) Aphra Behn was a dramatist, novelist, and poet. Using the pen name "Astraea," she was the first woman in England to become a professional writer and the first woman to be accepted as a playwright in the male-dominated English theater. Her fiction was important in the development of the English novel and her work influenced the novelist Henry Fielding. Behn wrote more than 15 plays and in her own time was best known as a dramatist. Today, she is best known for her novel Oroonoko (1688) a vivid, realistic story about a noble black prince of Suriname who is enslaved by cruel white men. The novel is an important antislavery document. Behn was born in the county of Kent. She claimed to have learned the history of Prince Oroonoko while living as a child in Guyana. In 1666, King Charles II sent her to Holland as a spy. She returned to London in poverty a few years later and became a writer. She is buried in Westminster Abbey.

Aphra Behn July 1640 - April 16, 1689, London Aphra Behn broke every rule. She was a spy, she was a writer, she was thrown in prison several times for her debts and her politics, she may or may not have been married and she had a live-in lover for nine years. Her origin a mystery, an unidentified child named Aphra traveled with a couple named Amis to Surinam (Dutch Guiana), then an English possession. Upon her return to England around the time of the Restoration, she may have married a London merchant named Behn. Her wit and beauty caught the eye of the royal court and she was employed by Charles II in secret service in The Netherlands. Unrewarded, and imprisoned for debt, she began to write to support herself. From 1670 until her death in 1689, Aphra Behn enjoyed commercial triumph. Her witty, vivacious comedies, such as The Rover (two parts, produced 1677 and 1681) and The Lucky Chance , were highly successful. She was well read, fluent in French and Italian with some Spanish, and she often adapted work by older dramatists. Her versatility, like her output, was immense, and in her day was rivaled only by that of her friend and colleague, John Dryden. Aphra Behn is considered the first professional English woman writer and originator of the novel in its modern form. This honor is often bestowed on Daniel Defoe, but Aphra Behn's

The Mediadrome Search WWW Poems of the Week: Aphra Behn by John Stringer Virginia Woolf (1882 – 1941), in her long essay A Room of One’s Own (1929) described the status of women and the difficulties encountered by women writers in a man’s world. In it, she says: "All women together ought to let flowers fall upon the tomb of Aphra Behn, which is, most scandalously but rather appropriately, in Westminster Abbey, for it was she who earned them the right to speak their minds. It is sheshady and amorous as she waswho makes it not quite fantastic for me to say to you tonight: Earn five hundred a year by your wits." Aphra was born in July, 1640, probably in Harbledown, a small town near Canterbury in the county of Kent in England. According to the Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature She had entered court circles (as they say), and was employed by King Charles II as a spy in Antwerp during the war against the Dutch (1665 – 1667). Her code name was ‘Astrea’ or Agent 160. According to one of the biographies of her, in this role “she successfully accomplished the objects of her mission; and in the latter end of 1666 she wormed out of one Van der Aalbert the design formed by De Ruyter, in conjunction with the DeWitts, of sailing up the Thames and burning the English ships in their harbours. This she communicated to the English court, but although the event proved her intelligence to have been well founded, it was at the time disregarded. Disgusted with political service, she returned to England.”

INVITATION TO A FUNERAL a tale of Restoration intrigue by Molly Brown Aphra Behn: a brief chronology circa 1640: Born. Details of her early life are vague. Birthplace may have been Kent, maiden name may have been Johnson. Also, she may have been adopted. 1663: Her (adopted?) father is appointed Lieutenant Governor of Surinam. The family travels to Surinam by ship, but her father dies on the voyage. circa May 1664: Returns to London. circa 1664: She marries a Dutch merchant named Behn, who later dies in the Plague. Or does she? Some writers have suggested her dead husband may have been a fabrication created to give her an air of respectability. July, 1666: She travels to Antwerp as a spy during the war against the Dutch. She is not paid for her services and has to borrow money in order to return home. Spring, 1667: Returns to London, heavily in debt. 1668: Unable to pay her debts, she is arrested and taken to prison. It is not clear which prison she went to, how long she was incarcerated, or who came up with the money to get her relased. September, 1670: She makes her debut as a playwright;

Henri Matisse (1869-1954) Above: Top of page: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC Aphra Behn (1640?-1689) Set in Surinam in South America and published in 1688, Aphra Behn's OROONOKO tells the story of two royal slaves, Oroonoko, and his beloved Imoinda. This novella, or short novel, is credited with being the first to introduce the anticolonial idea of the "noble savage" to English fiction. Included below are citations, links, and books concerning the literary art of Aphra Behn and her masterpiece, Oroonoko. Also included are several audio CD's of Henry Purcell's incidental music composed for Behn's dramatic work, ABDELAZER, performed in 1695. Virginia Woolf counted Aphra Behn as the first woman to earn a living as a writer. According to Encarta Encyclopedia 97, CD-ROM: "Among Behn's many works are poems and plays, the latter including her most popular play, The Rover (1677; second part, 1681); The City Heiress (1682), a satire of London life; and The Luck Chance (1686), which explored one of Behn's favorite themes, the folly of arranged marriages. Her novel Oroonoko (1688?), the story of an African prince sold into slavery in Suriname, influenced the development of the English novel and is important for several reasons. It introduces the figure of the noble savage, later developed by Jean Jacques Rousseau, foreshadows later novels on the anticolonial theme, pioneers in the effort to depict a realistic background, and may be the first English philosophical novel. The novel formed the basis of a tragedy of the same name written by the English dramatist Thomas Southerne, produced in 1695."

Sunshine for Women WHM 2001, ToC Home Aphra Behn Esteemed as a writer in her own time, upon her death, Behn was buried in the East cloister of Westminster Abbey. In A Room of One's Own Virginia Woolf wrote that all women should "let flowers fall upon the tomb of Aphra Behn, for it was she who earned them the right to speak their minds." Although women had been writing for centuries, only a few women, such as Christine de Pizan (c.1364 - c.1431), had managed to earn their living by the pen. Indeed, only a few women had managed to earn an independent livelihood in any career. For the working class, there was plenty of work for women as washerwomen, brewsters, needleworkers, and the like, but then, as now, women were paid much less for their labor than men, and most women could not earn enough money to keep body and soul together. Women were forced to marry for their daily bread. For the rich and middle classes, only a few professions existed: governess and that's all I can think of at the moment. If the woman came from a Catholic family, she could take religious orders. Otherwise she was dependent on her family (her father, her brothers, or other close relatives), she married to establish her own family, or she became a courtesan or a prostitute. Her early life is shrouded in mystery, even the identity of her parents in unknown. Behn was possibly the Eaffry Johnson born to Bartholomew and Elizabeth Johnson in 1640 in Harbledon near Canterbury; in which case, her father was a barber. Somewhere along the line she became literate enough in French and Latin to produce English translations of works in those languages. How and where she acquired her education is unknown.

Aphra Behn, Oroonoko, or The Royal Slave Genre: the work's genre is still debatable, but it claims to be a memoir and travel narrative (of Behn's years in the colony of "Surinam," later called Dutch Guiana), as well as the biography of Oroonoko, whom his captors called "Caesar." Form: prose. Characters: "I," a character in some sense modeled on the real-life Aphra Behn; Oroonoko , an African prince and later a slave to the English who called him "Caesar"; Imoinda , his lover, also enslaved and sometimes called "Clemene"; Jamoan , an opposing warrior chief who, conquered by Oroonoko, becomes his vassal; the King of Coramantien , whom Oroonoko serves and later betrays, and who betrays him; the slave-running English ship captain ; and various English colonists, especially the supposedly sympathetic plantation overseer named Trefrey , the colony's deputy governor named William Byam , the gallant Colonel Martin , and " Bannister , a wild Irishman" (1910). Summary: Issues and Research Sources: Among other sources, Behn's invention of Orooonoko draws upon
