The Female Quixote; or, The Adventures of Arabella is a novel by Scottish writer Charlotte Lennox imitating and parodying the ideas of Miguel de Cervantes ' Don Quixote. Published in 1752, two years after she wrote her first novel, The Life of Harriot Stuart, it was her best-known and most-celebrated work.
Yet Lennox's equation of romance and fiction attests tacit recognition that the problems of romance are the problems of fiction, novel's as well. By deriding romance, construing it as the realm of excess nonsense, The Female Quixote veils its own excesses, tries to appear stable controlled.
Charlotte Lennox (born 1729/30, probably Gibraltar—died Jan. 4, 1804, London, Eng.) was an English novelist whose work, especially The Female Quixote, was much admired by leading literary figures of her time, including Samuel Johnson and the novelists Henry Fielding and Samuel Richardson.
