  The SF Site Featured Review: First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women
His current title First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women is shortlisted for the Canada Council for the Arts Governor General's Literary Awards.
The title, First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women, is borrowed from a 16th century work against having women in positions of authority, by the Scottish religious leader John Knox (1513-1572).
First Blast is written in a beautifully rich and evocative English, which in the current horror field is only approached by perhaps one other author, Thomas Ligotti.

And against that ordre it doth manifestly repugne, that any woman shall occupie the throne of God, that is, the royall seate, whiche he by his worde hath apointed to man. As in geuing the lawe to Israel, concerning the election of a king, is euident.
First, I say, if iustice be a constant and perpetuall will to geue to euerie person, their own right (as the moste learned in all ages haue defined it to be) then to geue, or to will to geue to any person, that whiche is not their right, must repugne to iustice.
First that frome a corrupt and venomed fountein can spring no holsome water: Secondarilie that no person hath power to geue the thing, which doth not iustlie appertein to them selues[147]: But the authoritie of a woman is a corrupted fountein, and therfore from her can neuer spring any lauful officer.

 The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women 1558
In which words is first to be noted, that the apostle calls this former sentence pronounced against woman a law: that is, the immutable decree of God, who by his own voice has subjected her to one member of the congregation, that is to her husband.
He proceeds further, saying, "Women are commanded to be subject to men by the law of nature, because man is the author or beginner of the woman: for as Christ is the head of the church, so is man of the woman.
But such is the empire and regiment of all women (as evidently before is declared); and therefore, I say, it is a thing plainly repugnant to good order: yea, it is the subversion of the same.

 The First Blast of the Trumpet (1558) by John Knox
Yea, they further should pronounce, that where women reign or be in authority, that there must needs vanity be preferred to virtue, ambition and pride to temperance and modesty; and finally, that avarice, the mother of all mischief, must needs devour equity and justice.
And against that order it does manifestly repugn, that any woman shall occupy the throne of God: that is, the royal seat which he by his word has appointed to man; as is evident, in giving the law to Israel, concerning the election of a king.
But the question is, if women may succeed to their fathers in offices, and chiefly to that office, the executor whereof does occupy the place and throne of God.

Knox preached against her and her Catholic religion and by 1567 Mary abdicated in favor of her son James (VI of Scotland and later I of England).
It was written primarily against the regency of Marie de Guise and Mary I of England.
In all, The First Blast of the Trumpet against the Monstrous Regiment of Women serves as an interesting conduit for the foundations of Scottish Presbyterianism, cultural attitudes toward women, and political relations between England and Scotland in the sixteenth century.

And first, where I affirm the empire of a woman to be a thing repugnant to nature, I mean not only that God by the order of his creation hath spoiled women of authority and dominion, but also that man hath seen, proved and pronounced just causes why that it so should be.
And among the rest are women forbidden, and this cause is added, that they do not against their shamefastness intermeddle themselves with the causes of others, neither yet that women presume to use the offices due to men.

His First Blast was probably written at Dieppe towards the end of 1557; and it was printed early in the following year at Geneva, as is apparent upon comparison with other books from the press of JOHN CRESPIN in that city.
And first, where that I affirme the empire of a woman to be a thing repugnant to nature, I meane not onlie that God by the order of his creation hath spoiled woman of authoritie and dominion, but also that man hath seen, proued and pronounced iust causes why that it so shuld be.

Book review: First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women
McCormack has written an excellent novel, both optimistic and unsettling at the same time; though the jacket blurb calls it a "sexual Gothic", the sexual aspect is actually rather secondary.
The book's populated with allegorical images: Sister Justitia's House of Mercy, where children live in a glass-walled home (think of Jeremy Bentham's Panopticon); a town being swallowed up by the earth; a mote in the protagonist's eye; nightmares and murders and decay.

It was reported than when she found she couldn't charm John KNox with her sexual attractiveness, she burst into tears of frustration.
She was so keen for the smell of burning flesh that she disgusted EVEN her Spanish husband King Phillip II(No slacker in the religious murder department himself) and his retinue of servants and priests, who rarely allowed any major ocassion to pass without an auto-da-Fe with some burning protestants or Jews.
Phillip saw well before Mary that her policy was turning the English against her and urged her to stop the killing, especially of commoners.
