Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references (pages 217-238) and index
Only recently have scholars begun to note Cavendish's references to 'God, ' 'spirits,
' and the 'rational soul, ' and little has been published in this regard. This volume
addresses that scarcity by taking up the theological threads woven into Cavendish's
ideas about Nature, matter, magic, governance, and social relations, with special
attention given to Cavendish's literary oeuvre. The essays enhance our understanding
of Cavendish's intriguing - and sometimes brilliant - contributions to debates about
God's place in the scientific cosmos
