Plays 1676-1678: Volume 2, Plays 1676-1678

Claire Bowditch completed her PhD on Behn in 2015. She co-edited The Luckey Chance for volume IV of the Cambridge Edition of Behn's works, which won the MLA prize for a scholarly edition and the Josephine Roberts Award from the Society for the Study of Early Modern Women and Gender. Jennie Challinor is a Teaching Fellow in Early Modern Literature at the University of Birmingham and has published work on Restoration drama and seventeenth-century manuscript cultures. Her first monograph, Playing Politics: Restoration Drama and Innovation, 1670–71 is currently forthcoming. Elaine Hobby is Professor Emerita at Loughborough University, where she worked very happily from 1988. She researches writing by (and, sometimes, about) early-modern women, including midwifery and religio-political pamphleteers. Aphra Behn has been her main focus since 2015, and she has edited several of Behn's plays for the Cambridge Edition of her work.
