Romantic Transports: Tabitha Tenney's "Female Quixotism" in Transatlantic Context

This article examines Tabitha Tenney's Female Quixotism within a transatlantic literary and cultural context, showing how the novel draws upon and transforms European literary traditions, particularly those associated with Miguel de Cervantes' Don Quixote and eighteenth-century sentimental and Gothic fiction. The study argues that the novel critiques the unrealistic expectations created by popular romance novels while reflecting broader cultural exchanges between Europe and the early United States. It explores themes of gender, education, reading practices, and the formation of female identity, demonstrating how Tenney adapted European literary influences to address social and moral concerns in the new American republic.
