"I am as ambitionous as ever any of my Sex was, is or can be; though I cannot be Henry the Fifth , or Charles the Second , yet I endeavour to be Margaret the First . Als Margaret Cavendish 1667 an die Royal Society wandte, berichtete Samuel Pepys, dass ihr Kleid "so altisch und ihre Deportation so ungewöhnlich war, dass ich sie überhaupt nicht mag". Und in der Tat, hier lebhaft zum Leben erweckt von Danielle Dutton, die schüchterne, begabte und wild unkonventionelle Herzogin ist völlig "ungewöhnlich" und umso besser dafür. Zu Beginn des englischen Bürgerkriegs nach Paris verbannt, trifft Margaret William Cavendish und beginnt mit seiner Ermutigung Bände von Poesie und Philosophie zu veröffentlichen, die bald zum Gespräch werden. von London. Nach der Wiederherstellung wächst Margarets Schande nach ihrer Rückkehr nach England. Sie verursacht Kontroversen, wohin sie geht, sobald sie das Theater mit entblößten Brüsten besucht und verdient sich den Spitznamen "Mad Madge". Doch während sie von vielen verachtet wird, ist Margaret für andere eine Visionärin, und für spätere Leser – einschließlich Virginia Woolf – war sie eine frühe Vorstufe des Feminismus zu werden. Sie war die erste Frau, die zur Royal Society eingeladen wurde – und die letzte seit 200 Jahren – und die erste Engländerin, die explizit zur Veröffentlichung schrieb. Zu Unrecht von der Geschichte vernachlässigt, war Margaret die Erste - wie sie sich selbst gestylt hat - ein leuchtendes, leuchtendes Paradoxon. Hier, Sie wird intim und unvergesslich zum Leben erweckt, stürzt Pell-Mell über die Seiten dieses aufregenden Romans - ein "ungewöhnliches" Porträt einer Frau, deren Ambitionen und Ehe ihrer Zeit oft Jahrhunderte voraus waren.

"I am as Ambitious as ever any of my Sex was, is, or can be; though I cannot be Henry the Fifth, or Charles the Second, yet I endeavour to be Margaret the First.""I am as Ambitious as ever any of my Sex was, is, or can be; though I cannot be Henry the Fifth, or Charles the Second, yet I endeavour to be Margaret the First."When Margaret Cavendish addressed the Royal Society, Samuel Pepys recorded that her dress was "so antic and her deportment so unordinary, that I do not like her at all". And indeed, here vividly reimagined by Danielle Dutton, the shy, gifted, and wildly unconventional 17th-century duchess is wholly "unordinary", and all the better for it.Exiled to Paris at the start of the English Civil War, Margaret meets and marries William Cavendish and, with his encouragement, begins publishing volumes of poetry and philosophy, which soon become the talk of the town in London. After Cromwell's defeat, upon their return to England, Margaret's infamy grows. She causes controversy wherever she goes, once attending the theatre with breasts bared, and earns herself the nickname "Mad Madge".Yet while scorned by many, to others Margaret is a visionary, and to later readers - including Virginia Woolf - she was to become an early precursor of feminism. She was the first woman to speak at the Royal Society - and the last for 200 years - and the first to write explicitly for publication. Unjustly neglected by history, Margaret the First - as she styled herself - was a bright, shining paradox. Here, she is brought intimately and memorably to life, tumbling pell-mell across the pages of this invigorating depiction of a woman whose ambitions, and marriage, were often centuries ahead of her time.'The duchess herself would be delighted at her resurrection in Margaret the First . Dutton expertly captures the pathos of a woman whose happiness is furrowed with the anxiety of underacknowledgment . She surprisingly and delightfully offers not just a remarkable duchess struggling in her duke's world but also an intriguing dissection of an unusually bountiful partnership of (almost) equals.'- The New York Times Book Review'Margaret the First is set in the seventeenth century, but don't let that fool you. It's a strikingly smart and daringly feminist novel with modern insights into love, marriage, and the siren call of ambition.'- Jenny Offill, author of Dept. of Speculation Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
