Publisher's Synopsis

""Female Quixotism V3: Exhibited In The Romantic Opinions And Extravagant Adventures Of Corcasina Sheldon"" is a novel written by Tabitha Gilman Tenney and first published in 1841. The book follows the story of Corcasina Sheldon, a young woman who is deeply influenced by the romantic novels she reads. Her obsession with romance leads her to embark on a series of extravagant adventures, including eloping with a man she barely knows and attempting to rescue a supposed captive prince. The novel is a satire of the romantic literature of the time and explores the theme of female quixotism - the tendency of women to become overly idealistic and impractical in their pursuit of love and adventure. Through the character of Corcasina Sheldon, Tenney exposes the dangers of such behavior and highlights the importance of practicality and common sense. Overall, ""Female Quixotism V3: Exhibited In The Romantic Opinions And Extravagant Adventures Of Corcasina Sheldon"" is a humorous and insightful novel that provides a unique perspective on the role of women in society during the 19th century.In Three Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
