This 18th century novel revolves around the life of its female protagonist who lets her imagination rule the better part of her personality. The narrative is a slur on the romantic novels of the era and satirizes the genre for its fanciful approach. It is also a commentary on the delicate balance between the two sexes and their roles in society.
