Aphra Behn's The Lover's Watch and La Môntre unfold as sparkling meditations on love, wit, and the disciplined art of devotion. Framed by admiring tributes from Charles Cotton, N. Tate, Rich. Faerrar, G. J., and others, the volume presents Behn as a rare poet whose elegance, originality, and female genius transform a French source into something more beautiful, ordered, and enduring. At its center is the courtly exchange between Damon and Iris, whose separation inspires a symbolic watch—a miniature moral guide that turns hours, sighs, letters, and daily routines into lessons in constancy and self-command. Alongside this intimate dialogue, the lover's journey through allegorical landscapes of Love, Hope, Inquietude, and Little Cares traces the emotional extremes of courtship: longing, jealousy, reverie, restraint, and ecstatic anticipation. Tender billets-doux, dreamlike encounters, and Cupid's counsel all reinforce the book's central vision of romance as both passionate impulse and refined discipline. The result is a polished, playful celebration of feminine intelligence and the transforming power of love. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
