Utopian Negotiation Aphra Behn and Margaret Cavendish【電子書籍】[ Oddvar Holmesland ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Aphra Behn (1640?1689) and Margaret Cavendish (1623?1673) were two of the boldest women authors of seventeenth century England. They made gestures toward a utopian future involving female emancipation and gender agreement, but depicted a world too complex for simple answers.</p> <p>In the first book-length exploration of the two authors together, Holmesland reevaluates the nature of utopianism in the writings of both, considering a wide range of their literary output. Both writers try to avoid fixed positions, exploring areas in between, seeking mediating solutions through "utopian negotiation." Requiring more equal gender relations, for instance, they challenge patriarchalism; however, while seeking to redefine the heroic code of honor, idealizing gentleness in men, they call for a femininity with heroic resources. Aspiring to such ideals of male-female mutuality, both authors extend this thinking to their view of the body politic.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 4,268円

Love-Letters Between a Nobleman and His Sister【電子書籍】[ Aphra Behn ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Aphra Behn's 'Love-Letters Between a Nobleman and His Sister' is a groundbreaking epistolary novel that challenges societal norms and explores themes of love, power, and betrayal in 17th century England. Written in a conversational and intimate style, the book blurs the lines between truth and fiction, making the readers question the authenticity of the letters exchanged between the characters. Behn's use of multiple perspectives and complex character dynamics adds depth to the narrative, revealing the intricacies of human relationships and emotions within a hierarchical society. This novel is not only a captivating read but also a significant contribution to the development of the epistolary genre in English literature. Aphra Behn, a pioneering female playwright and novelist, was known for her bold and unconventional works that challenged gender conventions of her time. As a spy for the English crown and a former slave trader, Behn drew inspiration from her varied life experiences to create compelling narratives that questioned societal norms and explored the complexities of human nature. 'Love-Letters Between a Nobleman and His Sister' can be seen as a reflection of Behn's own feminist views and her critique of the power dynamics present in patriarchal societies. I highly recommend 'Love-Letters Between a Nobleman and His Sister' to readers who appreciate thought-provoking literature that pushes boundaries and challenges traditional norms. Behn's unique perspective and engaging storytelling make this novel a must-read for those interested in exploring the complexities of love, power, and gender dynamics in historical fiction.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 300円

Aphra Behn: A Secret Life【電子書籍】[ Janet Todd ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>'Fascinating scholarship. Todd conveys Behn's vivacious character and the mores of the time' <em>New York Times</em></p> <p>'All women together ought to let flowers fall upon the tomb of Aphra Behn; for it was she who earned them the right to speak their minds,' said Virginia Woolf. Yet that tomb, in Westminster Abbey, records one of the few uncontested facts about this Restoration playwright, poet of the erotic and bisexual, political propagandist, novelist and spy: the date of her death, 16 April 1689. For the rest secrecy and duplicity are almost the key to her life. She loved codes, making and breaking them; writing her life becomes a decoding of a passionate but playful woman.</p> <p>In this revised biography, Janet Todd draws on documents she has rediscovered in the Dutch archives, and on Behn's own writings, to tell a story of court, diplomatic and sexual intrigue, and of the rise from humble origins of the first woman to earn her living as a professional writer.</p> <p>Aphra Behn's first notable employment was as a royal spy in Holland; she had probably also spied in Surinam. It was not until she was in her thirties that she published the first of the nineteen plays and other works which established her fame (though not riches) among her 'good, sweet, honey-candied readers'. Many of her works were openly erotic, indeed as frank as anything by her friends Wycherley and Rochester. Some also offered an inside view of court and political intrigues, and Todd reveals the historical scandals and legal cases behind some of Behn's most famous 'fictions'.</p> <p>Janet Todd, novelist and internationally renowned scholar, was president of Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge, and a Professor at Rutgers, NJ. An expert on women's writing and feminism, she has written about many writers, including Jane Austen, the Shelley Circle, Mary Wollstonecraft, and Aphra Behn.</p> <p>'Ground-breaking it reads quickly and lightly.

The Definitive Aphra Behn Collection: Her Fiction, Poetry, and Drama【電子書籍】[ Aphra Behn ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>THE DEFINITIVE APHRA BEHN COLLECTION includes more than 50 works by 17th-century English writer, dramatist, and spy Aphra Behn. This collection included her famous anti-slavery work OROONOKO, as well as her other works of prose fiction, many of her poems, and her plays. Disregarded for many years, Behn's works achieved renewed interest in the twentieth century, and she is now regarded as one of the most important dramatists in 17th-century English literature.</p> <p>Little is known of Behn's (1640-1689) early life. She was probably born to Bartholomew (or possibly Eaffrey) Johnson, a barber, and Elizabeth Denham, a wet-nurse, although several alternate possibilities exist. She may have traveled to Surinam and lived there several years, returning to England in 1664, although this is uncertain as well. Her most famous work, OROONOKO, is set in Surinam and may reflect some of her experiences in that South American colony. Around 1664 she married John (or Johan) Behn, a Dutch or German merchant who died shortly thereafter, although she kept the Behn surname for the rest of her life. With the outbreak of the Second Anglo-Dutch War in 1665, Behn became an English spy in Antwerp. The crown's refusal to pay for her services contributed to her becoming a professional writer, one of the first women in England to do so.</p> <p>Novels and Short Stories</p> <p>?

The Cambridge Companion to Aphra Behn【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Traditionally known as the first professional woman writer in English, Aphra Behn has now emerged as one of the major figures of the Restoration. She provided more plays for the stage than any other author and greatly influenced the development of the novel with her ground-breaking fiction, especially Love-Letters between a Nobleman and his Sister and Oroonoko, the first English novel set in America. Behn's work straddles the genres: beside drama and fiction, she also excelled in poetry and she made several important translations from French libertine and scientific works. This Companion discusses and introduces her writings in all these fields and provides the critical tools with which to judge their aesthetic and historical importance. It also includes a full bibliography, a detailed chronology and a description of the known facts of her life. The Companion will be an essential tool for the study of this increasingly important writer and thinker.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 4,059円

<p>Aphra Behn (1640-1689) is historically recognized as the first woman to make a living through writing; her plays, novels, poems and pamphlets have met with fresh notoriety since the 20th Century. Her work was particularly significant to a group of contemporary writers known as The Female Wits, as well as to later feminist writers like Virginia Woolf.

The Letters in the Story Narrative-Epistolary Fiction from Aphra Behn to the Victorians【電子書籍】[ Eve Tavor Bannet ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The long tradition of mixta-genera fiction, particularly favoured by women novelists, which combined fully-transcribed letters and third-person narrative has been largely overlooked in literary criticism. Working with recognized formal conventions and typical thematic concerns, Tavor Bannet demonstrates how narrative-epistolary novels opposed the real, situated, transactional and instrumental character of letters, with their multi-lateral relationships and temporally shifting readings, to merely documentary uses of letters in history and law. Analyzing issues of reading and misreading, knowledge and ignorance, communication and credulity, this study investigates how novelists adapted familiar romance plots centred on mysteries of identity to test the viability of empiricism's new culture of fact and challenge positivism's later all-pervading regime of truth. Close reading of narrative-epistolary novels by authors ranging from Aphra Behn and Charlotte Lennox to Frances Burney and Wilkie Collins tracks transgenerational debates, bringing to light both what Victorians took from their eighteenth-century forbears and what they changed.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,204円

Oroonoko【電子書籍】[ Aphra Behn ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>After learning how to fight at a young age, Oroonoko, an African prince, fights alongside his army against invading forces. When a celebrated general saves Oroonoko’s life, trading his own to take an arrow for Oroonoko, the young prince feels indebted to the man and decides to go pay his respects to the late general’s family. There, he meets Imoinda, the daughter of the general. Oroonoko and Imoinda quickly fall in love and become betrothed, but the King, Oroonoko’s father, hears of Imoinda’s beauty and decides to take her as one of his wives. When Oroonoko and Imoinda rebel against this, the King sells Imoinda into slavery. Heartbroken, Oroonoko goes back to war, only to be tricked and captured by a British general. After the British general sells Oroonoko into slavery, he is reunited with Imoinda, as they are sold to work on the same plantation. This joy is short lived, as the horrors of slavery take its toll. When Imoinda becomes pregnant, the couple decide to do whatever it takes to ensure the best life for their child. They beg to be emancipated, but the plantation owner hardly considers their request, forcing Oroonoko to take his freedom back by force. With a lifetime of training, the love of his life at his side, and a dedication to regain his freedom, Oroonoko must lead a slave rebellion, risking everything he has for what he and his family should have: freedom.</p> <p><em>Oroonoko: or, The Royal Slave</em> has earned acclaim from both literary critics and historians. When it was originally published in 1688, less than a year before author Aphra Behn died, <em>Oroonoko: or, The Royal Slave</em> did not receive immediate attention. However, Behn’s work did gain popularity after a stage version of the novel was released in 1695. While the accuracy of the novel’s plot has been questioned and debated by historians, <em>Oroonoko: or The Royal Slave</em> has earned cultural and historical significance by being claimed as one of the first novels written in English. Along with its prolific and innovative writer, the novel has earned significance that is still admirable today.</p> <p>Now redesigned with an eye-catching cover and reprinted in a modern font, <em>Oroonoko: or The Royal Slave</em> by Aphra Behn is accessible for a modern audience.</p> <p>Since our inception in 2020, <strong>Mint Editions</strong> has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Masking the Drama A Space for Revolution in Aphra Behn’s ≪The Rover≫ and ≪The Feign’d Courtezans≫【電子書籍】[ Tiziana Febronia Arena ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>≪Masking the Drama: A Space for Revolution in Aphra Behn’s The Rover and The Feign’d Courtezans≫ pursues an in-depth investigation of the process whereby female identity was performatively negotiated on the Restoration stage by women playwrights such as Aphra Behn and of how a new articulation of social space contributed to the formation of a potentially emancipatory sense of gendered selfhood understood as a flexible and porous instantiation of performative roles.</p> <p>The author interrogates the prominent role played among Restoration women playwrights by the tropes of theatrical performativity as providing an alternative path to feminist revision and thus offering new perspectives on and challenges to existing scholarship on early modern women’s studies and the status of Aphra Behn studies in this scholarly context and stressing how women challenged, transgressed and subverted heteropatriarchal normativity by stepping outside their allotted social roles to appropriate a female space within the public domain of the theatre.</p> <p>From within a widely-argued critical discourse concerning masking and masquerade, the book takes a novel look at Behn’s internal and external mental conditionings, arguing that they still lived on even though the political divisions which had sustained their ideological rationale were no longer in place. One of the thesis’s critical edges lies here: rather than fixing Behn’s representational discourse within a rigid revolutionary/conservative dialectics, even when such a narrative of difference partly informs the plays analysed, the author convincingly argues against any monolithic view, thus eschewing the risk of ideological reductionism. The book brilliantly fashions a novel narrative of cultural phenomena especially relevant to the discussion of such a self-contradictory artist as Aphra Behn arguably is.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 8,190円

<p>Four plays by Aphra Behn, three comedies (The Rover Parts I and II, and The Dutch Lover), and one history (the Round-Heads). Aphra Behn (1640-1689) was an English playwright, poet, translator and fiction writer from the Restoration era. As one of the first English women to earn her living by her writing, she broke cultural barriers and served as a literary role model for later generations of women authors, including Virginia Woolf. Rising from obscurity, she came to the notice of Charles II, who employed her as a spy in Antwerp. Upon her return to London and a brief stay in debtors' prison, she began writing for the stage, where her works were among the most popular of her day.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 115円

The Works of Aphra Behn - The Original Classic Edition【電子書籍】[ Behn Aphra ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Finally available, a high quality book of the original classic edition of The Works of Aphra Behn.</p> <p>This is a new and freshly published edition of this culturally important work by Aphra Behn, which is now, at last, again available to you.</p> <p>Enjoy this classic work today. These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside The Works of Aphra Behn:</p> <p>It is perhaps not altogether easy to appreciate the multiplicity of difficulties with which the first editor of Mrs. Behn has to cope. Not only is her life strangely mysterious and obscure, but the rubbish of half-a-dozen romancing biographers must needs be cleared away before we can even begin to see daylight. Matter which had been for two centuries accepted on seemingly the soundest authority is proven false; her family name itself was, until my recent discovery, wrongly given; the very question of her portrait has its own vexed (and until now unrecognized) dilemmas. In fine there seems no point connected with our first professional authoress which did not call for the nicest investigation and the most incontrovertible proof before it could be accepted without suspicion or reserve. The various collections of her plays and novels which appeared in the first half of the eighteenth century give us nothing; nay, they rather cumber our path with the trash of discredited _Memoirs_. Pearsons reprint (1871) is entirely valueless: there is no attempt, however meagre, at editing, no effort to elucidate a single allusion; moreover, several of the Novels-- and the Poems in their entirety-- are lacking. I am happy to give (Vol. V) one of the Novels, and that not the least important, _The History of the Nun_, for the first time in any collected edition. Poems, in addition to those which appeared in Mrs. Behns lifetime, and were never reprinted after, have been gathered with great care from many sources (of which some were almost forgotten).</p> <p>It is hoped that this new issue of Mrs. Behn may prove adequate. Any difficulties in the editing have been more than amply compensated for by the interest shown by many friends. Foremost, my best thanks are due to Mr. Bullen, whose life-long experience of the minuti? of editing our best dramatic literature, has been ungrudgingly at my service throughout, to the no small advantage of myself and my work. Mr. Edmund Gosse, C.B., has shown the liveliest interest in the book from its inception, and I owe him most grateful recognition for his kindly encouragement and aid. Nay, more, he did not spare to lend me treasured items from his library so rich in first, and boasting unique, editions of Mrs. Behn. Mr. G. Thorn Drury, K.C., never wearied of answering my enquiries, and in discussion solved many a knotty point. To him I am obliged for the transcript of Mrs. Behns letter to Wallers daughter-in-law, and also the Satire on Dryden. He even gave of his valuable time to read through the Memoir and from the superabundance of his knowledge made suggestions of the first importance. The unsurpassed library of Mr. T. J. Wise, the well-known bibliographer, was freely at my disposal. In other cases where I have received any assistance in clearing a difficulty I have made my acknowledgement in the note itself.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 849円
