Description: The Rover by Aphra Behn Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The Rover or The Banishd Cavaliers by Aphra Behn. First published in 1677. The Rover or The Banishd Cavaliers is a play in two parts that is written by the English author Aphra Behn. It is a revision of Thomas Killigrews play Thomaso, or The Wanderer (1664); according to Restoration poet John Dryden, it "lacks the manly vitality of Killigrews play, but shows greater refinement of expression." The Rover features multiple plot lines, dealing with the amorous adventures of a group of Englishmen in Naples at Carnival time. Behns work should always be read with an eye toward her contemporary political world. She was a Royalist, and her works frequently treat Puritans and democracy roughly. The subtitle "Banishd Cavaliers" is a reference to the world of exile that the Cavalier forces experienced during the interregnum. Behn based her play on Thomas Killigrews Thomaso, or The Wanderer (1664). She was criticised for this, although her play is superior in wit, and she wrote the Postscript in response to her critics. The play features multiple plots, dealing with the amorous adventures of a group of Englishmen in Naples at Carnival time. The "rover" of the plays title is Willmore, a rake and naval captain, who falls in love with a young woman named Hellena, who has set out to experience love before her brother sends her to a convent. Complications arise when Angellica Bianca, a famous courtesan who falls in love with Willmore, swears revenge on him for his betrayal. In another plot, Hellenas sister Florinda attempts to marry her true love, Colonel Belvile, rather than the man her brother has selected. The third major plot of the play deals with the provincial Blunt, who becomes convinced that a girl has fallen in love with him but is humiliated when she turns out to be a prostitute and a thief.
