Broadview Press Ltd Description of a New World, Called the Blazing World

GTIN: 9781554812424
Blazing World is both a landmark of speculative fiction and an important work of early modern philosophy. First published in 1666, Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle’s Description of a New Blazing World is the first fictional portrayal of women and the new science. InBlazing World, Cavendish depicts her heroine, the Empress, in multiple roles. The Empress is leader of a dreamlike utopian world reachable through the North Pole, filled with talking animals and intelligent hybrid creatures. She establishes a royal society of scientists, initiates learned conferences, interrogates existing knowledge, and spends her days speculating on natural philosophy. She also forms a lively intellectual collaboration with the “Duchess of Newcastle,” a female character summoned from Earth. A companion volume to Cavendish’s important Observations upon Experimental Philosophy, Blazing World is the first known science fiction novel to have been written and published by a woman, and represents a pioneering female scientific utopia.This Broadview Edition includes related historical materials on the new science and Cavendish’s role in the intellectual world of her time. Autorid: Margaret Cavendish, Sara Mendelson
