 * I'm sorry, but I had to remove your addition to Aphra Behn. First of all, the basic premise, that Oroonoko is autobiographical enough to draw conclusions about Behn from, is unproven (and mistaken). Second, the opening sentence already is misleading: "Aphra Behn would have held the 17th century notion that marriage is based on “political and economic advantage” over a passionate love." Maybe so, but it isn't verified and, worse, it suggests that Coontz discusses the views on love that Behn held, and that is incorrect (Behn isn't cited in that book, as far as I know). Only the second half of that sentence can be verified by reference to Coontz; the first half ("would have held...") is unverified and appears to be original research. Please drop me a line if you have any questions. Drmies (talk) 03:13, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
