"""Finally, a full-dress account of Margaret Cavendish's philosophical ideas. Helpfully comparing her positions to those of more familiar philosophers, David Cunning gives a clear and sympathetic exploration of Cavendish's arguments."" - Margaret Atherton, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, USA ""For many years, Cavendish’s philosophical writings have cried out for serious, systematic interpretation. At long last, we have David Cunning’s book. Careful, scholarly, precise, lucid, accessible, and comprehensive - it is an absolutely invaluable introduction to the thought of this complex and highly original thinker."" - Jacqueline Broad, Monash University, Australia"
