          Guide to the classics: Margaret Cavendish’s The Blazing World pioneered speculative fiction, 400 years ago

          The Blazing World is a testament to how far the written novel has travelled in the past 400 years. A literary time capsule, it holds within it the origins of a genre we now call speculative fiction.
