The Blazing World is one of the most fascinating, unusual and astonishing pieces of literature in the English language.
With an introduction by Brooke Bolander.
Featuring numerous full-page and spot illustrations, and housed in an elaborately die-cut and embossed slipcase, this is an heirloom edition designed to be a work of art in its own right.
The tale involves spirit possession, astral projection, the many-worlds theory, and an interdimensional otherworldly queer romance that is centuries ahead of its time.
Written in 1666 by Margaret Cavendish, the Duchess of Newcastle, the story follows a young woman who is transported to a World of animal-people, becomes their empress, and eventually leads an invasion back into her own world, complete with bird-man bombardiers and submarine ships.
