Description
The Female Quixote is a novel written by Charlotte Lennox in the 18th century. The story is a satirical take on the popular novel Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes. The protagonist, Arabella, is a young woman who has grown up in isolation and has only read romances as her education. She becomes so enamored with the romantic ideals portrayed in these books that she begins to believe they are real and tries to live her life as a heroine in a romance novel. Arabella's delusions lead her into a series of comical misadventures, as she tries to find her own true love and live out her fantasies. Along the way, she encounters a variety of characters who try to convince her of the reality of the world around her, including her own cousin, who tries to set her straight. The Female Quixote is a witty and entertaining novel that pokes fun at the romantic ideals of the time and the unrealistic expectations that were placed on women. It is a commentary on the power of literature to shape our perceptions of the world and the dangers of taking fiction too seriously. The book is a classic of English literature and is still widely read and enjoyed today.From her earliest Youth she had discovered a Fondness for Reading, which extremely delighted the Marquis; he permitted her therefore the Use of his Library, in which, unfortunately for her, were great Store of Romances, and, what was still more unfortunate, not in the original French, but very bad Translations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
