The Blazing World and Other Writings
by Margaret Cavendish
Now hear me out on this. It is very obvious that Cavandish was an immensely intelligent woman with a great imagination and the fact that she got her works published in a time when women's voices were never heard is an amazing feat itself (even though she was a Duchess).
Despite all of this, The Blazing World is the most tedious and agrandising piece of literature I've ever read. I was expecting a bit more than long drawn out metaphysical discussions and many many descriptions of everything being made out of gemstones.
Again, an important work, both as a piece of feminist literature and as a work of proto-Science-Fiction. However, I found the style and tone absolutely unbearable.
