{"product_id":"rover-the-1","title":"Rover, The","description":"Carnival time in The Rover is a period when prohibitions are temporarily removed, privileges and rank suspended, and women - from convent girls to courtesans - take the initiative. Featuring multiple plot lines, which deal with the adventures of a group of love-struck Englishmen in Naples, Aphra Behn''s play explores issues of love, trickery and deception, forced marriage, male power, fidelity, and the excesses of sexual passion. Hers is a male-dominated society, but one with a clear-sighted portrayal of the female predicament.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe play is widely taught on A Level courses as well as on undergraduate literature and women''s writing courses. This new edition contains a completely new introduction, and takes into account important criticism from the past decade, as well as a new understanding of the nature of theatre in Behn''s time, and the significance of her contribution to English drama.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57780105118031,"sku":"9781408152119","price":22.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/rover-the-1","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
