[Born] Around 1640
[Died] April 16, 1689, London. English playwright and novelist. After the death of her husband, she began writing, becoming the first professional woman writer in England. She produced bawdy comedies typical of the Restoration period, such as The Forced Marriage (1670) and The Rover (2 parts, 77, 81). Her most famous work is the novel Oroonoko (88), which became the most important precursor of the novel genre that flourished in the 18th century. A romantic story with a black slave as the protagonist, it was also an early example of the introduction of the idea of the "noble savage" into literature, and had a great influence on later writers.
