Description
Written in two parts with multiple plot lines, The Rover, or, The Banish't Cavaliers, deals with the adventures of a group of love-struck Englishmen in Naples, during Carnival, a period when prohibitions are temporarily removed, privileges and rank suspended, and women-- from convent girls to courtesans-- take the initiative. Aphra Behn's play explores issues of love, trickery and deception, forced marriage, male power, fidelity, and the excesses of sexual passion. The play is a revision of Thomas Killigrew's The Wandered.
