ABSTRACT

Notes: 18th c 2628:2 (British Library). Laid paper, watermark not discernible. Average page (p. 71) 30 lines; 125 x 70 mm; 20 lines 82 mm. Attributed to Behn in the Hoe Catalog (1 :85), this is a revision of Behn's

translation of Tallemant's Voyage to the Isle of Love, which Behn published in 1684 in her Poems upon Several Occasions: With a Voyage to the Island of Love (AI8.1a). The revisions involve deletions and resequencing of the poems so that the conclusion is moral. The reworking of the poems is smooth, and it is hard to find traces of a second hand in this even though it is unlikely that the revisions are Behn's.
