In the first full-length study of the figure of the female libertine in late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century literature, Laura Linker examines plays and novels by John Dryden, Aphra Behn, Catharine Trotter, Delariviere Manley, and Daniel Defoe. Her study places the female libertine within her cultural, philosophical, and literary contexts and suggests new ways of considering women's participation and the early novel.
