This volume features notable works such as "The Rover" (Parts I and II), "The Dutch Lover," and "The Roundheads," which explore themes of love, power, and societal norms during the Restoration period.

The opening of this collected edition sets the stage for an exploration of Behn's life and works, acknowledging the challenges faced in editing her material due to the lack of accurate biographical information about her. The preface highlights the importance of thorough research to separate fact from fiction regarding Behn's life, ultimately emphasizing her significance as the first English woman to support herself through writing. The introduction further alludes to her unique experiences and influences, including her time in Surinam and her subsequent return to England, laying the groundwork for an understanding of her dramatic voice and the vibrant characters that populate her plays.
