About the Author:
Bernard de Fontenelle (1657-1757) was a French author. Having tried his hand at creating poetry, opera and allegory, Fontenelle suddenly broke through the literary and scientific ranks with 'A Discovery of New Worlds.' He was subsequently admitted to the prestigious French Academy. Aphra Behn (1640-89) was one of the first English professional female writers, a prolific dramatist of the English Restoration and, at one stage, a spy in the service of Charles II.
