Page "Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle-upon-Tyne" Paragraph 33

O ’ Neill notes that Cavendish ’ s natural philosophy, and writing in general, was criticized by many of her contemporaries as well as by more recent readers, such as Samuel Pepys, Henry More and Virginia Woolf.

Cavendish ’ s work has also received positive criticism and she is lauded by many for such reasons as having written on typically male dominated subjects, such as natural philosophy.

Letters and poems of praise written by her husband were included in several of her published works.
