The Female Quixote; or, The Adventures of Arabella is a novel written by 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. It was approved by both Henry Fielding and Samuel Richardson, applauded by Samuel Johnson, and used as a model by Jane Austen for Northanger Abbey. It has been called a burlesque, "satirical harlequinade", and a depiction of the real power of females. While some dismissed Arabella as a coquette who simply used romance as a tool, Scott Paul Gordon said that she "exercises immense power without any consciousness of doing so". Norma Clarke has ranked it with Clarissa, Tom Jones and Roderick Random a

dbo:abstract
  • The Female Quixote ist ein Roman der englischen Schriftstellerin Charlotte Lennox, der 1752 veröffentlicht wurde. Er gehört zur Gattung der Erziehungs- und Sittenromane, in deren Zentrum „junge, vernunftbegabte, tugendhafte Heldinnen“ stehen und dabei „Aspekte des weiblichen Selbstverständnisses und der gesellschaftlichen Rolle der Frau behandeln.“ Dabei griff der Roman in einer Inversion auf das Grundmotiv von Miguel de Cervantes Don Quijote zurück, um anhand der wahnhaften Romantisierung der Titelheldin Arabella eine Satire des zeitgenössischen Alltags aufzuzeigen. Der Roman wurde von der Kritik überaus positiv aufgenommen, erlebte zahlreiche Neuauflagen sowie Übersetzungen und führte dazu, dass man seine Urheberin 45 Jahre danach weiterhin mit diesem Titel assoziierte.
