The Blazing World is one of the most fascinating, unusual and astonishing pieces of literature in the English language. Written in 1666 by Margaret Cavendish, the Duchess of Newcastle, the story follows a young woman who is transported to a world of animalpeople, becomes their empress, and eventually leads an invasion back into her own world, complete with birdman bombardiers and submarine ships. The tale involves spirit possession, astral projection, the manyworlds theory, and an interdimensional otherworldly queer romance that is centuries ahead of its time. Featuring numerous fullpage and spot illustrations, and housed in an elaborately diecut and embossed slipcase, this is an heirloom edition designed to be a work of art in its own right. With an introduction by Brooke Bolander. 9x12", 138 pages.
