Female Quixotism V3: Exhibited In The Romantic Opinions And Extravagant Adventures Of Corcasina Sheldon is a novel written by Tabitha Gilman Tenney and published in 1841. The book follows the story of Corcasina Sheldon, a young woman who is deeply influenced by the romantic novels she reads. She becomes obsessed with the idea of finding a perfect romantic love and embarks on a series of extravagant adventures in pursuit of this goal. Along the way, she encounters a variety of colorful characters and experiences both triumphs and setbacks in her quest for love. The novel is a satirical commentary on the cultural phenomenon of female quixotism, which refers to the tendency of women to become overly idealistic and romantic in their pursuit of love and happiness. Through Corcasina's story, Tenney explores the dangers of such extreme romanticism and encourages women to seek a more balanced and realistic approach to love and life. Overall, Female Quixotism V3 is a thought-provoking and entertaining work of fiction that offers valuable insights into the social and cultural norms of 19th-century America.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.
