Margaret Cavendish's life as a writer and noblewoman unfolded
against the backdrop of the English Civil War and Restoration.
Pursuing the only career open to women of her class, she became a
lady-in-waiting to the Queen Henrietta Maria. Exiled to Paris with
the Queen, she met and married William Cavendish, Marquis of
Newcastle. In exile, Margaret did something unthinkable for a
seventeenth-century Englishwoman: she lived proudly as a writer.
Eventually she published twenty-three volumes, starting with "Poems
and Fancies," the first book of English poetry published by a woman
under her own name. But later generations too easily accepted the
disparaging opinions of her shocked critics, and labeled her "Mad
Madge of Newcastle.""Mad Madge" is both a lively biography of a
fascinating woman and a window on a tumultuous cultural time.
