When a young woman is shipwrecked in the kingdom of the Blazing
World, she befriends the natives, a highly intelligent and tolerant
group of humanoid animals. With the help of the locals, the woman
becomes the Empress of the island, and leads the Blazing World into
a society of peace, equality, and understanding. Margaret
Cavendish's The Blazing World explores hot-button topics and
themes, bringing a perspective that is still fresh modern-day. With
imaginative and gripping prose, Cavendish advocates for philosophy
over the material world, becoming a pioneer and strong advocate for
peace, animals' rights, feminism, and equality. Her work is
considered innovative not only for the exploration of these topics,
but also for the invention of a genre. This edition of The Blazing
World is printed in a modern font and redesigned with a striking
new cover, bringing Cavendish's trailblazing literature into the
21st century.
