The Female Quixote; or, the Adventures of Arabella
The Female Quixote; or, The Adventures of Arabella was a novel written by Charlotte Lennox imitating and parodying the ideas of Miguel de Cervantes' Don Quixote. The critical reception of The Female Quixote was generally favourable: its plot and elevated language, moral vision, and witty commentaries on romance novels were applauded. Fielding's Covent-Garden Journal gave a favourable notice of her book. After the novel, Dr. Johnson gave a party in her honour, in which he served a "magnificent hot apple-pye ... and this he would have stuck with bay-leaves", and "further, he had prepared for her a crown of laurel, with which, but not till he had invoked the muses by some ceremonies of his own invention, he encircled her brows".
