Margaret Cavendish
Born in 1623 as the youngest child of a wealthy Essex family, Margaret Cavendish became a Maid of Honour to Queen Henrietta Maria before going on to marry the widowed William Cavendish, Duke of Newcastle. She was a prolific writer whose work encompassed a range of genres, including poetry, moral tales, romance, scientific treatises, philosophy, drama, and biography. Pepys wrote of her: "The whole story of this Lady is a romance, and all she doth is romantic."
The Blazing World is part fiction and part feminist text in which a lady is shipwrecked and seeks to ensure that the Blazing World in which she finds herself is transformed into a Utopia - free of war, sexual discrimination, and religious discord. It is a fascinating and extravagant combination of what the author herself calls ‘"romancical", "philosophical", and "fantastical".
