Description: Memoir of Mrs. Behn, Paperback by Summers, Montague, ISBN 1534721843, ISBN-13 9781534721845, Brand New, Free shipping in the US A Memoir of Mrs. Behn - Montague SummersTHE personal history of Aphra Behn, the first Englishwoman to earn her livelihood by authorship, is unusually interesting but verydifficult to unravel and Montague Summers (10 April 1880 – 10 August 1948) was an English author and clergyman. He is known primarily for his scholarly work on the English drama of the 17th century, as well as for his idiosyncratic studies on witches, vampires, and werewolves, in all of which he professed to believe. He was responsible for the first English translation, published in 1928, of the notorious 15th-century witch hunter's manual, the Malleus Summers died at his home in Richmond, Surrey in August 1948. An autobiography The Galanty Show was published posthumously in 1980, though much is left unrevealed about his life. His grave in Richmond Cemetery was unmarked until the late 1980s, when Sandy Robertson and Edwin Pouncey organised the Summers Project to garner donations for a gravestone. It bears his favoured phrase "tell me strange things". Summers's manservant Hector Stuart-Forbes is buried in the same plot.
