Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

"Margaret Cavendish's philosophical work is at last taking its
rightful place in the history of seventeenth-century thought, but
her writings are so voluminous and wide-ranging that introducing
her work to students has been difficult-at least until this volume
came along. This carefully edited abridgment of Observations upon
Experimental Philosophy will be indispensable for making
Cavendish's fascinating ideas accessible to students. Marshall's
Introduction provides a helpful overview of themes in Cavendish's
natural philosophy, and the footnotes contain useful background
information about some of the texts and philosophers that Cavendish
mentions. The additional selections from Descartes, Hobbes, Boyle,
and Hooke also help contextualize Cavendish's views." -Deborah

Written during the English Civil War and Interregnum when the
public theatres were closed and Margaret Cavendish was living away
from England in exile, Bell in Campo and The Sociable Companions
are scathing satires that speak to the role of women's agency
amidst this cultural tumult. In Bell in Campo, a group of virtuous
women follow their husbands to war and, refusing to remain docilely
out of harm's way, form an army of their own. The Sociable
Companions details the struggles of four women from impoverished
Royalist families trying to survive in a rapacious marriage market
at the war's end. This Broadview Edition presents these two
complementary plays together, along with supplementary materials on
Cavendish's life, the participation of women in the combat of the
English Civil War, the conduct of the Royalist military forces, and
seventeenth-century social and marriage conventions.
