Description:... Few readers today are aware of the vigorous prose experiments undertaken in the seventeenth century. This anthology presents a representative selection of that work, with examples from Aphra Benn, John Bunyan, William Congreve, Percy Herbert, and Thomas Dangerfield. Also included are Mary Wroth's feminist romance Urania and Margaret Cavendish's female utopia The Blazing World, in print here for the first time since their original publication.
