The Blazing World by Margaret Cavendish is, all at once, a satire, a treatise on natural philosophy, a work of proto-science fiction, and a defiant venture into a scientific world where women were not usually allowed. It tells the tale of a young Lady who is kidnapped by a man that tries to sail away with her. Through divine interference, however, the ship is tossed into a storm and everyone but the Lady perishes. Blown up to the North Pole, she inadvertently passes into to another world, the Blazing World, where she is almost immediately made supreme ruler. As the Lady begins to exercise her will, Cavendish lays out her own Utopia and discusses a wide range of scientific, political, social, and religious topics. But when a war breaks out in her home world, what will the Lady do with all power of the Blazing World behind her?
> Le Monde glorieux est à l'image de ce personnage contradictoire. L'appariement a de quoi nous surprendre. Roman philosophique, roman utopique décevant, comme le sont la plupart des inventions utopiques, roman féministe, il vire, lorsque son impératrice convoque l'âme de Margaret Cavendish comme scribe, à la science-fiction, les deux personnages étant entraînés dans des aventures irrésumables où se mêlent l'autobiographie, le plaidoyer et les inventions les plus loufoques. —Danieljean (Babelio)

A Merchant travelling into a foreign Country, fell extreamly in Love with a young Lady; but being a stranger in that Nation, and beneath her, both in Birth and Wealth, he could have but little hopes of obtaining his desire; however his Love growing more and more vehement upon him, even to the slighting of all difficulties, he resolved at last to Steal her away; which he had the better opportunity to do, because her Father's house was not far from the Sea, and she often using to gather shells upon the shore accompanied not with above two to three of her servants it encouraged him the more to execute his design.
