AphraConference: DEADLINE April 1st to propose a paper for 2024’s Aphra Behn & her Restoration’ - the 8th international conference hosted by the Aphra Behn (Europe) Society; this conference is a special one - taking place in Behn’s home city of Canterbury. CFP & details:
WeLoveWalkTours: Just spied this guided walk:
Aphra Behn was a (very early) British female author. So this looks like a particularly interesting theme tying in with the playwright Marlowe, as I think I'm right in saying they were both also spies.
katsukinnie: i have decided i really like aphra behn and the way no one knows shit about her actual life

Aphra Behn (spy and playwright) and her friend Nell Gwynn (actor/King's mistress) fed another of the King's paramours sweetmeats laced with a powerful laxative just prior to an assignation. The king was not amused.
GlynBrwn_Period: In March 1677 Aphra Behn's riotous play The Rover was first produced. Her mate Nell Gwyn was in it. A punky sisterhood, ready to kick out the jams. They'd be huge fun down the tavern later...

In Imitation of Horace
HarthouseJames: "In Imitation of Horace" by Aphra Behn (1640-1689)
Four numbered stanzas on Love and its dangers. The extensive note after the poem mentions that Behn's poem is a translation of Horace, and that she blurs the genders of speaker and objects of desire.

RansomReads: In university, after Shakespeare, Aphra Behn was my favourite playwright.
After reading The Dutch Lover this evening, I feel somewhat more ambivalent. Not a great play.

drmcnuge: It's Interntional Women's Day and Women's History Month, and I've barely tweeted about it. So let me share the women that got me hooked on early modern history. First up: Aphra Behn, who made her living by her pen in the 1670s/80s.

anarchosuccubus: its funny that neoliberal losers like her try to pretend that maybe shakespeare was secretly a woman despite every fact pointing to otherwise, and yet Aphra Behn, a "feminist" playwrite from a similar time period, gets significantly less scholarship and praise
womenwewrite: The first woman to make a living solely from her writing is Aphra Behn (1640-1689). (She was also a spy!)Learn more:
AustenConnect: Past into present: Aphra Behn's 1688 work Oroonoko tells the story of a kidnapped African prince and his love Imoinda. It was a popular stage play in the 18th century. Vanessa Riley's 'Island Queen' from 2021 chronicles the life of Caribbean entrepreneur Dorothy Kirwan Thomas.

Former spy Aphra Behn was a poet and playwright during the Restoration period, and the first woman in England to earn a living as a writer.
RobTrueStories: Some feminists say Aphra Behn is the first novelist but again, this depends on their definition of 'novel' and also ignores work by an earlier woman writer, Margaret Cavendish. Disregarding earlier works in general, which all depend on the definition of the novel too.
RobTrueStories: As I say, many books by women writers have become very important to me and I'm glad I opened my mind to the possibility women might write stories I like. I'm glad Aphra Behn and others like her stood u to the social 'morals' at the time and led the way for future girls.
