Love-letters Between a Nobleman and His Sister by Aphra Behn
Perhaps the first long novel in the English language, this book is loosely based on the adulterous affair between Lord Grey, a prominent Whig noble closely involved in the Monmouth rebellion and the Rye House plot, and his sister-in-law, Lady Henrietta Berkeley.
Behn, Aphra: -
Aphra Behn (1640-1689) was one of the first Englishwomen to earn a living from writing. She was a playwright, poet, translator, and fiction writer during the Restoration era. Behn's plays and writing were well-received by the public, but she often found herself in legal trouble or being judged harshly because critics did not like that she was a successful woman. Behn remained a strong advocate for herself, and argued that women should have the same education opportunities as men, paving the way for more women to become writers.
