Reseña
Written in 1752 and admired by Henry Fielding, Samuel Richardson, and Dr. Johnson, "The Female Quixote" relates 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.
