This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1918 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER II "OUR ENGLISH MAECENAS" I EARLY PATRONAGE (1617-1636) No doubt Gerard Langbaine's appreciation of William Cavendish is, like the Duchess's own estimate, largely gross hyperbole, but there is a measure of truth in his assertion that "no Person since the Time of Augustus better understood Dramatick Poetry, nor more generously encourag'd Poets; so that wemay truly call him our English Maecenas." 1 At all events a nobleman whose interest in letters began with Ben Jonson and extended to Shadwell, who was o1 terms of intimacy with Hobbes, Shirley, and Dryden, is not to be disregarded in the history of English patronage. Many a dedication both before and after Newcastle's exile testifies that he was easy of access to struggling authors and generous of his bounty, in evil times as well as in prosperity. Money could always be found for his fine horses on the Continent, and after coming home he could never bring himself to turn away a needy writer. Dabbling in literature was one of the Duke's passions, and one he ceaselessly indulged. Perhaps he realized how very mediocre his own creative talents were and resolved by way of compensation inextricably to entangle his literary reputation with the names of his great contemporaries, believing with one whom he would have delighted to honor, So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.a 1 An Account of the Dramatick Poets, 1691, p. 386. 1 Shakespeare, Sonnet XVIII. Cavendish's youth showed no tendency towards learning except his early proficiency in French, a necessary part of every fine gentleman's equipment; in general the boy cared little for any activity which required perseverance and application. It is small wonder, then, that he took no...

Book Description
A Lit Hub Best Book of 2016 • One of Electric Literature's Best Novels of 2016 • An Entropy Best Book of 2016 “The duchess herself would be delighted at her resurrection in Margaret the First...Dutton expertly captures the pathos of a woman whose happiness is furrowed with the anxiety of underacknowledgment.” —Katharine Grant, The New York Times Book Review Margaret the First dramatizes the life of Margaret Cavendish, the shy, gifted, and wildly unconventional 17th–century Duchess. The eccentric Margaret wrote and published volumes of poems, philosophy, feminist plays, and utopian science fiction at a time when "being a writer" was not an option open to women. As one of the Queen's attendants and the daughter of prominent Royalists, she was exiled to France when King Charles I was overthrown. As the English Civil War raged on, Margaret met and married William Cavendish, who encouraged her writing and her desire for a career. After the War, her work earned her both fame and infamy in England: at the dawn of daily newspapers, she was "Mad Madge," an original tabloid celebrity. Yet Margaret was also the first woman to be invited to the Royal Society of London—a mainstay of the Scientific Revolution—and the last for another two hundred years. Margaret the First is very much a contemporary novel set in the past. Written with lucid precision and sharp cuts through narrative time, it is a gorgeous and wholly new approach to imagining the life of a historical woman. "In Margaret the First, there is plenty of room for play. Dutton’s work serves to emphasize the ambiguities of archival proof, restoring historical narratives to what they have perhapsalways already been: provoking and serious fantasies,convincing reconstructions, true fictions.”—Lucy Ives, The New Yorker “Danielle Dutton engagingly embellishes the life of Margaret the First, the infamousDuchess of Newcastle–upon–Tyne.” —Vanity Fair

Margaret the First
Author: Douglas GrantPublisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1487597800
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Margaret Cavendish was one of the most original, loveable and eccentric of women writers. Pepys called her "mad, ridiculous, and conceited" but when she paid her famous visit to London in 1667 he ran all over town to see her. And many of her other contemporaries were no less fascinated. Posterity has continued to feel the attraction; to her many admirers she has always been "the incomparable Princess," and Lamb enthusiastically praised her as "the thrice noble, chase, and virtuous—but again somewhat fantastical, and original-brain'd, generous Margaret Newcastle." This biography is the first full-length study entirely devoted to the Duchess of Newcastle. It shows Margaret's metamorphosis from an imaginative, bashful child into a romantic public figure, and how, after living at home among a family unusual in its loyalties, she served as lady-in-waiting to Queen Henrietta Maria during the Civil War and in exile married William Cavendish, the "Loyal" Duke of Newcastle, before emerging as the first woman writer of her times—"Margaret the First" as she wished to be known. Her poetry, fiction, drama and natural philosophy, along with her many other writings, are treated as facets of her extraordinary personality delightful in itself and also valuable as an illustration of the spirit of the age. The illustrations are unusually good and include a fine unpublished portrait of the Duchess, a photo of her effigy in Westminster Abbey and reproductions of several of the ornate engraved title-pages of her works.
