[from chapter entitled 'Aphra Behn'] 'One thing is certain, pure her mind was not, but tainted to the very core. She loved grossness for its own sake, because it was congenial to her [...] The noble examples of Mademoiselle de Scudery and Madame de la Fayette were lost upon her -- she read their works, she knew well their object, and she wrote not one coarse passage the less for either.'
