The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World by Duchess Margaret Cavendish
I got a fright when reading this section this week. If Jewish people get mentioned in works this age it’s usually a bad thing, but I stuck with it and I felt it was quite respectful as the Empress of the Blazing World summons the spirits and asks them to teach her the ‘Jews Cabbalah’
Ultimately they convince her this wouldn’t be authentic and the bring to her Margaret Cavendish, the author of the work, to help her as a scribe and they go on a journey of world creation, which is rather strange and confusing, but I’m sure this will help you sleep.
