Aphra Behn From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Portrait of Aphra Behn, aged approximately 30, by Mary Beale Aphra Behn (10 July 1640 – 16 April 1689) was a prolific dramatist of the Restoration and was one of the first English professional female writers . Her writing participated in the amatory fiction genre of British literature. Contents Early life Life in England, writing career, work as a spy Status among other writers throughout history Bibliography ... edit Early life The personal history of Aphra Behn, one of the first English women to earn her livelihood by authorship, is difficult to unravel and relate. Information regarding her, especially her early life, is scant, but she was almost certainly born in Wye , near Canterbury , on 10 July 1640 to Bartholomew Johnson, a barber, and Elizabeth Denham. The two were married in 1638 and Aphra, or Eaffry , was baptized on 14 December 1640. Elizabeth Denham was employed as a nurse to the wealthy Colepeper family, who lived locally, which means that it is likely that Aphra grew up with and spent time with the family's children. The younger child, Thomas Colepeper , later described Aphra as his foster sister. In 1663 she visited an English sugar colony on the

6. Aphra Behn - Author Of The Rover And Oroonoko Biography of the first professional female playwright, plus links to all of her works currently in print. http://www.imagi-nation.com/moonstruck/clsc17.htm

Aphra Behn Before becoming a professional writer, Aphra Behn was a professional spy for England, code-named "Astrea" or Agent 160. She was the first professional female writer in England, and for the first twenty years of her career, she was the only female playwright. It was rumored that she was James II's mistress. However, we know very little else about her life. The Restoration , as a period, was badly documented, and the institutions that did keep records, Oxford and Cambridge, the Inns of Court and the Middle Temple, excluded women from their ranks. So our understanding of Ms. Behn's life must depend on the writings she left behind, the voices of her characters, the repeated themes and expressions. Perhaps as a result of her one certain activity, espionage, Ms. Behn was fascinated with the entanglement of sex and power, both in the personal and political spheres. And because this was considered an inappropriate subject for a woman, she was, for centuries after her death, simply regarded as a smutty writer. The Marquis of Halifax went so far as to blame Behn for the oppression of other women when he remarked, "The unjustifiable freedom of some of your sex have involved the rest in the penalty of being reduced." In recent years, however, Ms. Behn has been rediscovered by a more liberal generation of readers and performers. Her plays are now read throughout the English-speaking world and are regarded not as vulgar sexploits, but rather as legitimate and sensual explorations of gender, race and class.

9. Aphra Behn: Or, What Is Triumph In Love? A Consideration Based On The Aesthetic School paper about the life and work of the 17th century English writer. http://www.aestheticrealism.net/aesnyc141/Aphra_Behn_NH.htm

What Is Triumph in Love? with a consideration of Aphra Behn By Nancy Huntting This article is based on a paper presented in a public seminar at the Aesthetic Realism Foundation in New York City, February 10, 2000 in the news More about love including in The Right of Aesthetic Realism to Be Known Home Page, Aesthetic Realism Foundation More about Aesthetic Realism Consultations The Aesthetic Realism of Eli Siegel is tremendously kind in distinguishing clearly between two very different kinds of triumph people have in love � one which is false and makes us weaker and ashamed; the other, a true and lasting triumph, arising from the desire to like the world itself. Growing up in Ohio, I had a feeling of respectful wonder as my 4th grade class studied the brightest star in the constellation Orion, with the amazing name Betelgeuse, so many, inconceivable light years away. But I also wanted the feeling I got at home: that I was stellar, just because I was me � a Huntting, of superior New England stock, as we saw it. Without knowing it, I increasingly went after this spurious triumph of feeling I was better than others. As a result, at 13, despite praise from parents and teachers, when I began to think my best friend was more beautiful and smarter than I, I wrote to her that I was a failure � something I felt quite keenly. Years later in an Aesthetic Realism class, Eli Siegel kindly asked me a question that made the cause clear to me: "Have you wanted to be superior to every woman you met?" Yes, I had. That basis for "self-esteem" was fake, and I couldn't fool myself. I punished myself with a feeling of inferiority, and was ill-at-ease with anyone outside my family and close friends.

Historical : Aphra Behn Aphra Behn Aphra Behn ( 33k JPG image ), alleged by Vita Sackville-West to be the first women in England to earn a living as a writer, is a bit of a mystery. Little is known about her backgroundwho her parents were and where she was bornbut the details of her life that are known paint the portrait of an intriguing woman. Aphra lived for a time in Surinam, an experienced that inspired her first novel, Oroonoko, or The Royal Slave (1688). She was married for a short time and widowed at age 25. She secured employment as a spy for King Charles II and was sent to Belgium in this capacity. The King refused to pay her return trip, however, and after borrowing the funds to return, she was thrown into debtor's prison. After leaving prison, Aphra worked hard to make sure she was always capable of supporting herself. She became a successful London playwright and then a novelist. She wrote poetry, feeling that this form allowed her to express her "masculine" side. Aphra's opinions were unconventional, and because she openly expressed her viewpoints in her lifestyle and through her writing, she was seen as scandalous. Her poetry remarks on romantic relationships with both men and women, discusses rape and impotence, puts forth a woman's right to sexual pleasure, and includes scenes of eroticism between men.
