Margaret
Cavendish and the Exiles of the Mind
(Studies in the English Renaissance)
by Anna Battigelli
Hardcover
Univ Pr of Kentucky; September 1998
"While previous biographers of
Cavendish have focused
almost exclusively on her eccentric public behavior, Anna
Battigelli is the first to explore in depth her intellectual life.
She dismisses the myth of Cavendish as an isolated and
lonely thinker, arguing instead that the role of exile was
a rhetorical stance, one that allowed Cavendish to address
and even criticize her world." —The Publisher
"Battigelli (English, Plattsburgh State U.) makes the case
that Cavendish deserves at least honorable mention among
the leading thinkers of the early Enlightenment for her
"wooing of the mind" in 23 volumes of multiple genre writings.
Appendices address questions about the dating of her
birth and her courtship letters to William Cavendish."
