Volume IV of Behn's works is likely to contain a mix of her plays, poetry, and perhaps additional prose writings. Some of the notable plays that may be included in this volume are The Emperor of the Moon (1687), The Young King (1689), and The History of the Nun (1689), as well as other works that reflect her characteristic wit, exploration of gender and sexuality, and her critique of social and political structures. Many of Behn’s plays feature complex female characters, and her work is often seen as a commentary on the expectations and limitations placed on women in her society.In addition to her dramatic works, Volume IV likely includes selections of Behn's poetry and prose, allowing readers to appreciate the full scope of her literary contributions. This volume further enriches the legacy of Behn as one of the most important writers of the Restoration, offering insight into the social and cultural landscape of her time while continuing to influence discussions on gender, power, and identity in literature.
