In this work of literary criticism, Holmesland sets out to explore the nature of utopianism in the writings of two prominent women authors of the Restoration Period, Margaret Cavendish and Aphra Behn. Margaret Cavendish (1623-1673) was a dramatist and essayist best known today for The Blazing World, which is often considered one of the earliest precursors to science fiction. Aphra Behn (1640-1689)was also a dramatist and fiction writer, and her nost famous book, Oroonoko: or, the Royal Slave is acknowlodged as one of the earliest English novels.
