Produktbeschreibung
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 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.
Beautiful and independent, Arabella has been brought up in rural seclusion by her widowed father. Devoted to reading French romances, the young woman imagines all sorts of misadventures that can befall a heroine such as herself. This is a parody of the style of Cervantes, and a telling and comic depiction of eighteenth-century English society.
