More about the book

This notorious book, attributed to the prolific playwright and novelist Aphra Behn, offers a ribald and satirical take on the institution of marriage. Divided into two parts, the first offers a catalog of the supposed pleasures that can be derived from wedlock, while the second features a wry and subversive narrative in which a newlywed couple confesses their true feelings about each other and their union. A landmark work of early feminist literature, this book is sure to provoke laughter, reflection, and debate.
