Send it to a friend! Aphra Behn (1640 - 1689) Behn was the first professional woman writer in English literature, best known for her plays and her novel 'Oroonoko'. Aphra Johnson was born near Canterbury in 1640, and baptised on 14 December of that year. She is thought to have spent some of her youth in Dutch Guiana in the West Indies. In 1664 she married Johan Behn a merchant of Dutch or German parentage, but the marriage is not thought to have lasted very long. She is known to have acted as a British spy in Antwerp in 1666. Imprisonment for debt led her to write for an income. Behn wrote a series of successful plays. Her first, 'The Forc'd Marriage' was produced in 1671. 'The Rover' (1681), her most successful, was produced in two parts and included in its cast Nell Gwyn, mistress of King Charles II. Among Behn's sources was the Italian commedia dell'arte (improvised comedy), which she used in her farce 'The Emperor of the Moon' (1687), forerunner of the modern-day pantomime.

Z Aphra Behn Biography Aphra Behn (circa 1640 - April 16, 1689), after John Dryden, was the most prolific dramatist of the Restoration, and considered to be the first professional woman writer. Although not much is known of her origins, it is said that Aphra Behn was born in Wye, England, on July 10, 1640, to the wife of a barber. Her maiden name was possibly Johnson before marrying an illusive Mr. Behn. In early 1664 she travelled to an English sugar colony on the Surinam River, on the coast east of Venezuela, a region later known as Dutch Guiana. After the death of her husband, in 1666, she was dispatched as a spy to Antwerp by Charles II. A trade war had broken out between England and The Netherlands in 1665. It was she who first warned her king of the Dutch Government's intention to send an invading fleet up the Thames. Her exploits were not profitable, however, as he was slow on paying for her services, leading her to start writing her own plays in 1670. She died on April 16, 1689, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. It was while she was on the South American sugar colony that she met Oroonoko, an African prince who had been betrayed, enslaved and brought there from the African Gold Coast by the captain of an English merchant ship. She recounted her version of his tale a year before her death under the title of Oroonoko, or The Royal Slave. It is the circumstantial accuracy of her descriptions of Surinam that give her writing some verifiable credit. No doubt she has idealised her hero somewhat, but she does not seem to have exaggerated the extraordinary adventures of the young African chief.
