The Blazing World is a highly original work: part Utopian fiction, part feminist text, it tells of a lady shipwrecked on the Blazing World where she is made Empress and uses her power to ensure that it is free of war, religious division and unfair sexual discrimination. This volume also includes The Contract, a romance in which love and law work harmoniously together, and Assaulted and Pursued Chastity, which explores the power and freedom a woman can achieve in the disguise of a man.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: FictionTopic: Fantasy, Science FictionRelease Year: 1994 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
