Lady Margaret Cavendish and her utopian novel, The Description of A New World Called The Blazing World, published in 1666, has received renewed interest as feminist academics and woke literary crusaders obsessed with presentism struggle to revise every footnote of the Western canon. Their effort to elevate Cavendish isn’t entirely without merit, though, as the ambitious work by the 17th-century aristocrat had gone overlooked for centuries and delights many modern readers with illuminating descriptions of bizarre realms that predate the futuristic settings explored in some of today’s best science fiction.

Poet T.S. Eliot’s The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, now a hundred and eight years old, remains one of the finest examples of the modernist movement. And beginning with Prufrock, Eliot emerged as one of its most influential voices, supporters, and innovators. He pioneered interior monologue, expounded the use of fragmented structure, and successfully experimented with bold figurative language and urban settings. Those features helped Eliot communicate his existential theories and evoked a sense of alienation that he and many of his contemporaries often felt and even embraced.

Mainstream Interviews with business leaders are generally puff pieces designed to amplify the subject’s success or advertise the company’s product. How boring! We went a different route.
