Bog beskrivelse
Margaret Cavendish (1623-1673), Duchess of Newcastle and one of the best-known women writers of the her time, is enjoying a revival in the wake of Aphra Behn''s canonization: She appears in the Norton Anthology of English Literature , her poetry will appear in a new edition, and Penguin has recently reprinted her science-fiction novel The Blazing World . This is an edition of her hilarious and rowdy letters, unavailable since their original publication in 1664

She also comments on food, home remedies, the English Civil Wars, religious fanaticism, street entertainers, churchgoing as a way to find a husband, and winter sports
This edition offers a full introduction to Cavendish''s life and works, a bibliography, and detailed notes, and takes account of hand-corrections made at the author''s behest
