It was widely believed that her husband the Duke was secretly authoring her books -- when in fact she wrote more quickly and urgently than any man of her time. She wrote effortlessly, unstoppably, irrepressibly.

She was accused of plagiarism, dilettantism, and presumptuousness. Her publications were called foolish -- yet also too impressive to have been authored by a woman.

With a vitality verging on desperation, this baffling, over-elaborate, impossibly sincere, sui-generis epic of visionary fictions asks -- or really, demands -- that you do likewise.

Fundamentally, the Blazing World is a sandbox in which the singularly astonishing mind of Margaret Cavendish can stretch, play and build. The book constitutes an urgent exhortation to build & imagine inner worlds, free from the social & material bondage of the physical realm.

She made vital innovations in philosophy, science, & the arts, despite a lack of any formal education in these arenas. THE DESCRIPTION OF A NEW WORLD, CALLED THE BLAZING WORLD is perhaps her most awesome act of creation.

Meet Margaret Cavendish, the Duchess of Newcastle: autodidact and visionary. Poetess, playwright, aristocrat, iconoclast, thinker, inventor, wonderer, believer. In her own description, an "illustrious and excellent princesse."
