Flamboyant, theatrical and ambitious, Margaret Cavendish was one of the 17th century’s most striking figures: a woman who ventured into the male spheres of politics, science, philosophy and literature. The Blazing World is a highly original work: part Utopian fiction, part feminist text, it tells of a lady shipwrecked on the Blazing World where she is made empress and uses her power to ensure that it is free of war, religious division and unfair sexual discrimination. This volume also includes ‘The Contract’, a romance in which love and law work harmoniously together, and ‘Assaulted and Pursued Chastity’, which explores the power and freedom a woman can achieve in the disguise of a man.
