The book looks at ways of world-building in prose fictions of
cosmic voyage in the seventeenth century. With the rise of the New
Astronomy, there equally was a resurgence of the cosmic voyage in
fiction. Various models of the universe were reimagined in prose
form. Most of these voyages explore imagined versions of a world in
the moon, such as the cosmic voyages by Johannes Kepler, Francis
Godwin and Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac. In Margaret Cavendish's The
Blazing World, an eponymous imaginary planet is introduced. The
book analyses the world-building of cosmic voyages by combining
theories of world-building with contemporary concepts from early
modern literature. It shows how imaginary worlds were created in
early modern prose literature.
