In-person & Online

In an era when many women refused to put their writing into print, polymath Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle (1623–1673) not only insisted on print as the best medium for her drama, philosophy, poetry, and science fiction, but also was meticulously involved in her books' creation and customization, both during and after the printing process.

As part of the Pforzheimer Lecture Series, Dr. Liza Blake, Associate Professor at the University of Toronto, will highlight Cavendish's work to craft a reputation by carefully managing the distribution of her writing.
