Devoted to reading French romances, the sheltered young woman imagines all sorts of misadventures that can befall a heroine such as herself. As she makes forays into fashionable society in Bath and London, many scrapes and mortifications ensue - all men seem like predators for a distressed gentlewoman, and she risks her life by throwing herself into the Thames to avoid a potential seducer. Can Arabella be cured of her romantic delusions?In her introduction, Amanda Gilroy discusses Charlotte's Lennox's life and literary career, the eighteenth-century vogue for romances, the character of Arabella and the novel's treatment of women's fashion and roles. This edition also includes a chronology, a bibliography and notes.
