Margaret the First dramatizes the life span of Margaret Cavendish, the shy, gifted, and wildly unconventional 17th-century duchess. The eccentric Margaret published and published volumes of poems, viewpoint, feminist plays, and utopian knowledge fiction at the same time when being truly a writer had not been an option available to women. As one of the queen's attendants and the daughter of visible Royalists, she was exiled to France when King Charles I was overthrown. As the English Civil Warfare raged on, Margaret achieved and married William Cavendish, who prompted her writing and her desire to have a career. After the battle her work attained her both popularity and infamy in Britain; at the dawn of daily papers, she was "Mad Madge", a genuine tabloid star. Yet Margaret was also the first female to be invited to the Royal Contemporary society of London - a mainstay of the Scientific Revolution - and the last for another 200 years. Margaret the First is very much indeed a contemporary novel set in days gone by. Written with lucid accuracy and sharp reductions through narrative time, this is a stunning and wholly new method of imagining the life span of an historical woman.
