This text provides students with an approachable analysis of Behn's dramaturgical abilities, showing particularly how she uses comic and dramatic conventions to radical ends. Kate Aughterson shows how the playwright forces her audience to engage with issues about gender and sexuality, whilst continuing to write witty and accessible plays.
