Literary Career Writings Images Biographical Details ... Reception
Literary Career
Though the facts of Charlotte Lennox's life are sketchy at best, the history of her writings is more easily described and widely known. Lennox was a poet of some renown early in her life, publishing her Poems on Several Occasions in 1747. The most famous of her poetic efforts, "The Art of Coquetry," appeared in 1750 in the Gentleman's Magazine . That poem, using the rhetoric of wars and battles in its recommendation of subtly artful behaviors, teaches young women to employ feminine wiles in order to subdue men to "their empire" and promises that such women will "controul the world by love," if they are careful not to fall in love themselves. Though presenting sentiments that would not have caused much stir if voiced by an Alexander Pope, Lennox's poem produced both praise and wrath. "The Art of Coquetry" prompted an adulatory poem "Advice to a Novice in Love, Occasioned by Reading the Art of Coquetry by Mrs. Charlotte Lennox." Bluestocking Elizabeth Carter, however, despised Lennox's message. Lennox displayed an early interest in the ways women wield power, even if she restricted her comment to a predictable sphere of influence and voiced frequently rehearsed ideologies of femininity. Of most significance to current estimations of Lennox's career is the fact that, during a time that was "rich in prose," she contributed a great deal of it to the public. Lennox wrote five (and possibly six) novels over the course of forty years, including

Lennox, Charlotte The Female Quixote: Or, the Adventures of Arabella
Genre Novel (426 pp.) Keywords Doctor-Patient Relationship History of Medicine Mental Illness Nature ... Society Summary Arabella is a young lady who has lived for a long while at her father's secluded country home. She spends her time reading romances (in 18th century Britain, "romance" meant fictional works posing as historical accounts of tragic heroines, leibestods, and undying affectionusually French in origin). She has come to believe the romances to be true and models her behavior after the rigid rules of womanhood contained in them. Moreover, she interprets others' action or outside events according to romantic expectations. When Arabella finally goes into society, all are struck with her wisdom and beauty, but are baffled by her behavior and constant references to various romantic characters. She scorns her persistent suitor, Mr. Glanville, since he does not, at first, pursue her according to the rules of romance. He neither pines away, nor allows her to send him to the far ends of the earth to think of her without hope, forever. He soon learns to humor her caprices.

This introduction is also available in a textonly version. Send comments and suggestions to Michael R.H. Owens The Life of Harriot Stuart, Written by Herself presents a complex and problematic view of self-creation in the eighteenth century. Within the novel, there is a constantly reoccurring theme of self-invention through fiction, which is echoed by the author's own use of the novel to shape her identity. Published in December of 1750, Harriot Stuart gained critical praise as a successor of Richardson's Clarissa The Female Quixote Despite these associations with the didactic tradition, Harriot Stuart's resemblance to it is only superficial. Although Harriot makes gestures toward repentance and acknowledgment of her faults, the work of the novel is not to redeem Harriot's coquetry through marriage, but rather allow her to control her own identity through the manipulation of language as both coquette and narrator. As coquette, Harriot Stuart uses the language of courtship to manipulate the perceptions of her male admirers. The object of the male gaze, traditionally considered a passive role, is a site of empowerment for the coquette as she exploits it to create and re-create herself in society's eyes. As narrator, Harriot uses the telling of her courtship as a vehicle of self-invention. In controlling the telling of her own history, she in effect reconstructs her identity.
