Claire Bowditch & Elaine Hobby (Loughborough University, UK) will discuss how their fellowships at the RBML informed and shaped their research of Aphra Behn, one of the first English women to earn her living by her writing. This talk will draw attention to some of Behn's works that exist in either unique or rare states amongst the RBML's collections at the U of I. Zoom registration is open to all.
