Beskrivelse af The Feign'd Curtizans Or A Nights Intrigue
The Feign'd Curtizans Or A Nights Intrigue is a play written by Aphra Behn, a prominent female playwright of the Restoration era. The play revolves around the story of two women, Lucinda and Florinda, who pretend to be courtesans in order to gain access to the wealthy and powerful men of society. They do this in order to gain revenge on their former lovers, who have wronged them in some way. The play is set in London and takes place over the course of one night, during which the two women navigate a series of complicated and often dangerous situations. Along the way, they encounter a number of other characters, including their former lovers, a group of bawdy and lecherous gentlemen, and a wise and witty maid who helps them in their scheme.As the night progresses, the women's plan becomes increasingly complicated, and they find themselves in danger of being exposed. However, with quick thinking and a bit of luck, they are able to outsmart their enemies and achieve their goals.The Feign'd Curtizans Or A Nights Intrigue is a witty and entertaining play that explores themes of love, revenge, and the power dynamics of the Restoration era. It is notable for its strong female characters and its portrayal of women as independent and resourceful, despite the limitations placed on them by society.Cor. Her Sex, a pretty consideration by my youth, an Oath I shall not violate this dozen year, my sex shou'd excuse me, if to preserve their fame, they expected I shou'd ruin my own quiet: in chusing an ill favourd Husband, such as Octavio before a young handsome Lover, such as you say Fillamour is.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
