Her play was largely adapted from Anne Mauduit de Fatouville's \u003cem\u003eArlequin, Empereur dans la lune\u003c\/em\u003e (1684), a \u003cem\u003ecommedia dell'arte\u003c\/em\u003e production by the Com die-Italienne troupe, a performance which also proved immensely popular with Parisian audiences. Within its witty and amusing three acts, Behn's play explores a number of contemporary concerns -- from \u003cem\u003ecommedia dell'arte\u003c\/em\u003e, to gender and politics, to science and astronomy, including a plurality of worlds, for example -- all culminating in the third act's operatic spectacle. This volume offers a transcription of Behn's 1687 play with extensive annotations, a critical discussion of Behn's text, and the first English translation of Fatouville's eight French and Italian scenes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10363198\"\u003eJudy A.
