The Blazing World and Other Writings
by Margaret Cavendish
Flamboyant, theatrical, exuding ambiguous sexuality, Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle, was one of the seventeeth century's most striking figures. The title story is an inventive and extravagant portrayal of the rise of a woman to absolute power.
