Summary

A young woman is caught up in her ideas about romance and valor in this celebrated eighteenth-century parody of Don Quixote Written in 1752 and admired by Henry Fielding, Samuel Richardson, and Dr. Johnson, The Female Quixoterelates the comic misadventures of Arabella, a hapless aristocrat whose life becomes hopelessly confused with the romantic fiction she so adores. Charlotte Lennox parodies the style of Cervantes throughout, creating a high-spirited send-up of upper-class mores and literary convention. Timeless in its irreverent observations, this is a treasure of eighteenth-century English literature.
