Charlotte Lennox

Charlotte Lennox (c.1729-1804) was an English novelist, critic, and translator whose work was admired by leading literary figures including Samuel Johnson and Henry Fielding. Born in Gibraltar and raised in England, she supported herself through a wide-ranging literary career that included poetry, fiction, translation, and criticism. Her best-known novel, The Female Quixote (1752), is a witty and perceptive exploration of reading, imagination, and women's education. Long neglected, Lennox is now recognised as a central figure in the development of the English novel.
