{"product_id":"the-female-quixote-charlotte-lennox-9781916937406","title":"The Female Quixote: or, The Adventures of Arabella","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Volume II of Charlotte Lennox's The Female Quixote; or, The Adventures of Arabella, Arabella's romance-shaped imagination collides ever more dramatically with the realities of eighteenth-century society. Convinced that honour, jealousy, captivity, and heroic devotion govern the world around her, she interprets every encounter through the grand narratives of the French romances she adores, often with bewildering consequences for those who attempt to guide her towards common sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCelebrated by Samuel Johnson and admired by Henry Fielding, Lennox's novel is both witty and deeply perceptive, exploring the power of literature to shape not only our dreams but our understanding of the world itself. At its centre stands Arabella, a heroine of striking intelligence and independence, whose moral seriousness and imaginative conviction set her apart from those around her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresented here in its original two-volume form, this P-Wave Classics edition offers a carefully established text based on the 1752 edition, with modernised spelling for readability. The introduction, essay on The World of French Romance, and Glossary of the Romance Worldappear in Volume I.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdited with notes and an introduction by L.A.
