About this book
Cut loose from her Observations upon Experimental Philosophy, this tale by Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle, was meant for ladies who disliked philosophical argument. A young woman is carried off by a merchant who loves her, and by sea reaches another world, the Blazing-World, which touches ours at the North Pole. There she becomes empress and questions its inhabitants about nature. The author calls the first part romance, the second philosophy and the third fancy. A poem by her husband, William Cavendish, Duke of Newcastle, comes before the story.
