A rather standard biography, but one which has a very interesting subject: Margaret, Duchess of Newcastle. She was one of the first English women to write for publication--memoirs, poetry, and even an early example of science-fiction--and to do so under her own name. She earned her a formidable reputation as an eccentric during her lifetime, though she is all but forgotten today. Jones provides a decent introduction to the life of a remarkable woman.

Margaret Cavendish was the first woman writer to write specifically for publication and to consider herself primarily a writer. She cloaked her shyness in extravagant dress and an exotic public persona. In the turbulent days of the Civil War and its aftermath, she wrote to express her hugely varied ideas. She believed in sexual equality, criticized the role of women in contemporary society and even dared to criticize the institution of marriage. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
