  • Description

    Many would find it difficult to name a woman writer in England before Jane Austen, even though women were writing as early as the time of Chaucer. Major Women Writers of Seventeenth-Century England brings together in one volume a rich assortment of writing by the women Behn influenced, as well as those who preceded her.
