Bio of Aphra Behn
Author, playwright, and poet. Behn was the first Englishwoman who earned her living by writing. There is much controversy about her background, but she is known to have traveled with a Surinam couple. She married a Dutch merchant Mr. Behn in 1664 who is said to have died a year after their marriage. Soon after her husbands death, Behn started working as a spy for Charles II but was sent to debtor's prison for debts she incurred in the service. She wrote her first play The Forced Marriage in 1670, succeeded by a series of other plays and novels. Her other works include: Covent Garden Drollery (1672), Sir Patient Fancy (1678), The Feigned Courtesans (1679), The Lover's Watch (1686), and The Emperor of the Moon (1687).
