Pressestimmen

Praise for Danielle Dutton:Margaret the First“The duchess herself would be delighted at her resurrection in Margaret the First. . . . Dutton expertly captures the pathos of a woman whose happiness is furrowed with the anxiety of underacknowledgment. . . . [She] surprisingly and delightfully offers not just a remarkable duchess struggling in her duke's world but also an intriguing dissection of an unusually bountiful partnership of (almost) equals.” —Katharine Grant, The New York Times Book Review“This slender but dense imagining of the life of Margaret Cavendish, a pioneering 17th-century writer and wife of the aristocrat William Cavendish, could be classified as a more elliptical cousin of Hilary Mantel's Thomas Cromwell novels. . . . Ms. Dutton's style is tightly poetic. 'It was indescribable what she wanted,' she writes of Margaret. 'She wanted to be 30 people. … To live as nature does, in many ages, in many brains.'” —John Williams, The New York Times“Dutton's Duchess . . . exists, in this book, as a study in textual vestiges, as much palimpsest as person. . . . There are vivid, episodic bursts of narration, recounting a birthday party, the teasing of her by siblings, and Margaret's time at court in Oxford, after the revolution interrupted her aristocratic family's bucolic life. . . . In Margaret the First, there is plenty of room for play. Dutton's work serves to emphasize the ambiguities of archival proof, restoring historical narratives to what they have perhaps always already been: provoking and serious fantasies, convincing reconstructions, true fictions.” —Lucy Ives, The New Yorker online“Margaret Cavendish (1623-73) did something that was vanishingly rare for women in 17th-century England: She became a famous writer . . . . This is the story Danielle Dutton tells in her beguiling biographical novel Margaret the First . . . . The loveliest aspect of this novel is its gentle, wondering portrayal of the Cavendish marriage. William, a poet and patron of the arts, encourages his wife’s ambitions even as they bring notoriety upon the household. . . . Margaret laments when told of the scandal her writing provokes. Yet this inimitable woman made her reputation anyway, and Ms. Dutton's novel charmingly enhances it.” —Sam Sacks, The Wall Street Journal"Danielle Dutton engagingly embellishes the life of Margaret the First, the infamous Duchess of Newcastle-upon-Tyne." —Vanity Fair“Best New Book by a Local Author” —The St. Louis Post-Dispatch“What an excellent subject on which to hang a novel. . . . Dutton's literary voice is unusual, and arresting.” —Sarah Murdoch, Toronto Star"Dutton’s remarkable second novel is as vividly imaginative as its subject, the 17th-century English writer and eccentric Margaret Cavendish... Though Dutton doesn’t shy away from the “various and extravagant” antics (such as attending the theater in a topless gown) that earned her subject notoriety and the nickname “Mad Madge,” her Margaret is a woman of fierce vitality, creativity, and courage. Incorporating lines from Cavendish herself as well as Virginia Woolf, whose essays introduced Dutton to Cavendish, this novel is indeed reminiscent of Woolf’s Orlando in its sensuous appreciation of the world and unconventional approach to fictionalized biography. Dutton’s boldness, striking prose, and skill at developing an idiosyncratic narrative should introduce her to the wider audience she deserves." —starred review, Publishers Weekly“With refreshing and idiosyncratic style, Dutton portrays the inner turmoil and eccentric genius of an intellectual far ahead of her time.”—Jane Ciabattari, BBC.com"Although Margaret the First is set in 17th century London, it's not a traditional work of historical fiction. It is an experimental novel that, like the works of Jeanette Winterson, draws on language and style to tell the story. . . There is a restless ambition to [Danielle Dutton's] intellect." —Michele Filgate, The Los Angeles Times “This vivid novel is a dramatization of the life of 17th-century Duchess Margaret Cavendish. . . While the novel takes place in the 1600s, the explorations of marriage, ambition, and feminist ideals are timeless.” —The Boston Globe, "Pick of the Week"“Conjured in a prose at once lush and spare—so precise and yet so rich in observation—Danielle Dutton's Margaret is a creature exquisitely of her own creation, who can tell herself, and perhaps believe, that she “had rather appear worse in singularity, than better in the Mode.” —Ellen Akins, The Minneapolis Star Tribune"Despite its period setting and details, this novel—more poem than biography—feels rooted in the experiences of contemporary women with artistic and intellectual ambitions. Margaret's alternating bursts of inspiration and despair about her work may feel achingly familiar to Dutton's likely readers, many of whom will probably also be aspiring writers." —Kirkus Reviews"A perfect dagger of book: sharp, dark sentences, in and out quick." —Jonny Diamond, Literary Hub"[A] brazen feat of tenderness. . . visionary." —BOMB Magazine"The taut prose and supple backdrop of courtly life are irresistible. . . . Dutton is something of a meteor herself."—The Millions Most Anticipated Books of 2016“Each sentence in Margaret the First is like sea glass, exquisite and unyielding. The sentences stand out for their crafting, not overly ornate or precious, but determined, assured. . . . While reading Margaret the First, I get the sense of looking at paintings, of stillness animated while turning pages. The immersion becomes almost meditative, like sitting before a Mark Rothko painting and melting into its colors.” —Anne K. Yoder, The Millions"Beautiful, accessible, and hypnotic." —Bustle, "15 Of The Best Books Of March 2016 That Will Make Your Literary Kite Soar."“Margaret Cavendish is the fascinating subject of Danielle Dutton's hypnotic new novel, Margaret the First. . . . With just a few precise brushstrokes, Dutton paints a gorgeous, richly detailed world that lingers long after the novel ends; this sublime writing and imagery are the book's great strengths.” —Caitlin Callaghan, The Rumpus"A fabulous (and fabulist) re-imagining of the infamous Margaret Cavendish. . . Margaret the First isn’t a historical novel, however; magnificently weird and linguistically dazzling, it’s a book as much about how difficult and rewarding it is for an ambitious, independent, and gifted woman to build a life as an artist in any era as it is about Margaret herself. Incredibly smart, innovative, and refreshing, Margaret the First will resonate with anyone who’s struggled with forging her own path in the world." —BookRiot"Layered and engrossing. . . Dutton’s profile constructs [Margaret] as a fully formed, complicated human being, as a woman whose interests and inclinations stem from a complex personal history. It’s this profile that’s the star of the novel as much as its subject, since it deftly weaves together primary and secondary sources to form a wholly integrated, believable and gripping account of a woman who didn’t belong to the times in which she was born, not least because these times were too volatile for her to ever plant herself in them." —Electric Literature“Danielle Dutton's novel, Margaret the First, published by Catapult, is a literary page-turner, which explores Cavendish's adventurous life, weaving historical details into a spool of crafted, poetic prose.” —Gretchen McCullough, The Literary Review“Dutton refreshes Cavendish's words for a contemporary audience, rendering them relevant and powerful once more.” —Megan Burbank, The Portland Mercury"Dutton, an accomplished writer and daring publisher, here upends the genre of the historical novel in a brilliant book about Margaret Cavendish, a mold-breaking British Duchess of the 17th century who wrote poetry, drama, philosophy, and even science fiction." —Flavorwire, "Most Anticipated Books of 2016"“Danielle Dutton's novel, Margaret the First, published by Catapult, is a literary page-turner, which explores Cavendish's adventurous life, weaving historical details into a spool of crafted, poetic prose.” —Gretchen McCullough, The Literary Review“Dutton's fictionalized biography is unconventional in its approach, but entirely sensuous and captivating in its style—much like her subject.” —Historical Novels Review"Dutton’s book unfurls in prose which is arrestingly poetic; it concentrates on the small moments, emotions, and sensuous details which make up Margaret’s life, though without forgetting about the larger, less fleeting events which might be termed her life’s frame. It is a work in which colourful linguistic molecules reign, a work whose language is perhaps as excessive and stunning as Lady Cavendish’s own wardrobe was said to be. . . Its energy is inimitable; its curious aura—its curious beauty—burns a long while." —Numero Cinq"Dutton joins Alexander Chee in the camp of writers who are looking to history for vibrant settings and new ways to explore their themes of choice."—Vol. 1 Brooklyn“With Dutton's characteristic flair for rich language, Margaret the First evokes a bright, lively seventeenth century world that feels immediate and familiar.” —Kristen Evans, Brooklyn Magazine“Indebted to Virginia Woolf in both content and form, Dutton examines the life of a woman who upended social norms by being intelligent, imaginative, and ambitious without apology. Cavendish's intellectual and personal growth are explored with sensitivity in poetic prose style. This short literary book offers big rewards to readers interested in the complex mind of a woman ahead of her time.” —Sarah Cohn, Library Journal“Margaret the First is set in the seventeenth century, but don't let that fool you. It's a strikingly smart and daringly feminist novel with modern insights into love, marriage, and the siren call of ambition.” —Jenny Offill, author of Dept. of Speculation"All this trouble for a girl," say the bears in the book Margaret Cavendish writes within this remarkable book written by Danielle Dutton, the story of a very real woman at a very particular moment in history that is at the same time the story of every woman artist who has ever burst loose the constraints of her particular moment in history to create "a new world called the blazing world." —Kathryn Davis, author of The Thin Place and Duplex"Margaret the First has such incredible sentences, and a sense of history that feels like intimacy." —Sara Jaffe, author of Dryland"Ever since I first encountered her writing, I've told every serious reader I know that Danielle Dutton is one of the most original and wonderfully weird prose stylists of our time, every bit the contemporary of Lydia Davis, Cesar Aira, and Diane Williams. How perfect that her new novel is a portrait of Margaret of Newcastle, whose perceived excesses and eccentricities were an object of fascination for her time, as well as for Virginia Woolf, who laments in A Room of One's Own, ‘What a vision of loneliness and riot the thought of Margaret Cavendish brings to mind!’ And what a visionary portrait Margaret the First is, not only for the sheer joy of the sentences, but also as it’s a marvel of tenderness, rewriting a historical caricature as a life, delighting in Margaret's passion for writing and love of the beautiful and strange from childhood on. I am in awe of what Dutton accomplishes here, in this novel of the small and the sublime. What a triumph!"—Kate Zambreno, author of Green GirlAttempts at a Life: Stories (2007)"Refreshingly eccentric. . .Glorious." --Kate Zambreno, author of Green Girl, in Review of Contemporary Fiction"Indescribably beautiful, also indescribable." --Daniel Handler, Entertainment Weekly"Danielle Dutton writes with a deft explosiveness that craters the page with stunning, unsettling precision." --Laird Hunt, author of NeverhomeSprawl: A Novel (2010)"Both unabashedly voracious in terms of literary sources and an extraordinarily original text." --The Believer"In the long line of novels about the vapidity of suburbia, Dutton's has a narrator who may be one of the most likable. Aloof and hilarious, she dissects lives with the casualness of a cynical scientist." --TimeOut Chicago"Dutton's mini-masterpiece--a womanly treatise on suburban decay and fatigued love--is a triumph! Each sentence should be celebrated for its hilarity, rigor, eccentricity, and passion. Sprawl is the work of a brilliant mind." --Deb Olin Unferth, author of NBCC finalist Revolution

I am not normally into historical fiction but this book was so interesting and modernly written that i just had to fall in love with it. I keep recommending it to friends !

Catapult Books, a small press publishing "ecosystem" which combines workshops, a community bulletin board, a literary magazine, and book publishing, was only founded this past September and has already published a striking work of historical fiction. Other reviewers have, justifiably, focused on the uniqueness of the book's heroine. Margaret, also known as "Mad Madge," was a real life 17th century feminist and prolific writer. As she explains herself, while other women might write, "(T)he poems they circulated among themselves were anonymous elegies for dead children or praise for noble husbands. My own quill went marching across the page. I rejected any clocklike vision of the world I chastised men who hunted for sport." She is a fascinating character, by turns so shy that she cannot speak and so desperate for attention that she makes a public appearance in a topless gold gown with her nipples painted red. She is the woman who is praised by her king as a celebrity and who remains, all her life, the passionate child who imagines whole civilizations in the "river-foam bubbles." Yet as compelling as Margaret is, what I think is most exceptional about this book is its portrayal of the spirit of the Restoration. The characters, the writing style, the setting , the plot combine to create the experience of living in a remarkable and tumultuous age. It is as deft a work of historical fiction as I've ever seen.Margaret herself was the child of an old fashioned aristocratic family -- a necessary privilege for such a headstrong woman. As a young girl, mobs attack their estate while the family is away, stealing the money and jewels, of course, but also slaughtering the deer and breaking into the private cemetery to defile the coffins and corpses. Later, "The King of England was convicted of treason. The the king of England was dead. It was Tuesday. It was 1649. Parliament hacked off Charles I's head outside the Banqueting House at Whitehall. The mob, previously sick for it, drew quiet after the blow. The people were burdened with heavy taxes. May Day had been replaced by zealous sermons. Was the Civil War over? No one was sure." There is little certainty about any of the political upheavals in this book or the many moves between France, Antwerp, and England and from great rural estates to grimy, makeshift rentals in the city. The world simply changes over and over again in a mad rush, and rather than withdraw and pray for safety, the elite invent a bold new way of thinking.More than anything else, Margaret the First is powered by an almost dizzy sense of new intellectual possibilities. Upper class men, including Hobbes and Descartes, debate one another at Margaret's home and circulate their own pamphlets on the nature of being. Robert Boyle invents a machine that sucks air out of a chamber and experiments on living things. "The bird began 'manifestly to droop.' It staggered, collapsing, gasping. It threw itself down, threw itself down, and then the bird was dead.' 'All this,' she objected, 'to prove a bird needs air?' 'Before devising the pump,' said William, 'he'd had to strangle them with his hands.' Now all London was buzzing with the news: air holds a vital quintessence necessary to life."The word "science" does not exist yet, nor does any real semblance of scientific process. Instead there is a profusion of excited new ideas about what makes up the world around us. Margaret charges into the fray, rejecting the Aristotelian world view and insisting on the worlds within worlds concepts of her childhood. She writes philosophy, poetry, fantastical stories in a passionate trance. She makes herself over into a celebrity, even speaking at the newly founded Royal Academy. Everything is possible in this new age! Dutton tells her story in past tense, present tense, future tense, in first, third, and even second person. It all works because the book is as charged with energy and an adventurous spirit as the world and the people it describes. Margaret the First is a short work, not much more than a novella. I read it so quickly that it lasted about as long as one of Margaret's river foam bubbles, and when it ended I was left with the sense of having witnessed an entire civilization, lighter than air and as fantastical as anything even Margaret could have dreamed up.

Danielle Dutton does a superb job with her fictitious account of Margaret Cavendish, who was a real figure in seventeenth Century England.Dutton's style is unorthodox and wholly suited to describing the life of an eccentric, talented women born of noble birth.Margaret, a reticent young women, is in the employ of the royal household when she meets the worldly,handsome and much older William Cavendish. He is fascinated with her and remains her loyal and staunch ally even when it appears she is being rebuffed by society for her rather outlandish behaviour. It was frowned upon for women to write let alone publish in those times but Margaret is not perturbed and in time has a group of influential admirers, including Charles II.She enjoys shocking her contemporaries and does so with style. At one point showing up at a function dressed as an Amazon with her breasts exposed and her nipples painted red!What a woman! Even if one did the same thing today, in the 21st Century it would be a scandal!Her husband fights on the side of the King against Cromwell's army and when the Royalists are defeated with the beheading of Charles I Margaret and her husband spend some years in exile in Antwerp.Once Cromwell dies and Charles II ascends the throne Margaret and her husband return to England.It is a wonderful story and a fascinating one.I, for one had never heard of this incredible woman so I was intrigued with the entire book.She had her enemies, not just for being audacious but for daring to enter the male world of literature and discussion.This is a small book which is succinct and quite powerful.I do recommend for those who enjoy fine literature.

Ok to judge this one by it's cover, as the cover is stunning, and the writing and subject is as well. I am a fan of british history, and literary fiction, and this book was perfect for me. Margaret was a real person, who wrote astounding, ahead-of-her-time prose, influenced Virginia Woolf, painted stars on her face and scandalized polite society. The author does an incredible job of capturing her.

In her portrayal of Margaret the First, Danielle Dutton succeeds in the daunting challenge of projecting an eccentric historical figure who wavers between courage and fragility. The prose style, distinguished by luminous diction and hypnotic sentence rhythms, is so poetic I found myself rereading passages for sheer pleasure.

If you enjoy working through a book, then this may be the book for you. It takes much reading and rereading of passages to grasp what is going on in the story. In our opinion, the writer's odd style detracts from the plot and only serves to confuse and frustrate the reader. What could have been an informative and enjoyable biography is turned into a strange compilation of odd clauses, incomplete sentences, and partial thoughts. A good book should not be an unpleasant effort to read.
