Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - For a seventeenth-century Englishwoman, Margaret (Lucas) Cavendish did the unprecedented -- she published her writing. Her extraordinary life unfolded during the English Civil Wars, when she was exiled to Paris and Antwerp as a Royalist seeking refuge from Cromwell's England, and later as mistress of her husband's estate in Newcastle after the restoration of the monarchy. In exile, she began to write and publish her poetry and essays, influenced by a Royalist cultural world that included Hobbes and Descartes. Despite the scandal her writing life caused, she eventually brought out thirteen books, ranging from Poems and Fancies, the first book of poetry published by a woman under her own name, to Blazing World, the first science fiction by a woman. A lively biography and a window on the tumultuous cultural life of the seventeenth century, Mad Madge reveals there may well have been a 'Judith Shakespeare' centuries before Virginia Woolf exhorted women to find 'a room of one's own.' Katie Whitaker draws on the extensive collection of Margaret's letters and legal papers to draw a vibrant and complete picture of the pioneering 'Mad Madge.'.

In den WarenkorbPaperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. "The biographer's true gifts shine. Rarely has a distant century felt so immediate, its quirks and glories so vivid."-- Washington Times . 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. This is the story of Margaret Cavendish whose life unfolded against the backdrop of the English Civil War and Restoration. A lady-in-waiting, she was exiled to Paris with Queen Henrietta Maria, here she did something unthinkable for a 17th-century Englishwoman: she lived proudly as a writer.
