APHRA BEHN
By V. SACKVILLE-WEST
APHRA BEHN was the first woman in Eng- land to earn her living by her pen. For some time her name was synonymous with all that was bawdy both in life and litera- ture. Nevertheless she opened life way for women writers despite the tremendous opposition which was waged against her throughout her eventful life. Miss Sackville- West has drawn a brilliant picture of her life and times together with an estimate of her literary works. ARNOLD BENNETT calls this volume "a very agreeable and use- ful floriated essay on a woman of whom public ignorance is intense."
