As an orphan under the care of her selfish aunt who pressures
her to convert to Catholicism and enter a loveless marriage,
Henrietta learns to live by her wits. Henrietta's story draws
attention to the difficulty for women of earning a living in
mid-eighteenthcentury England and offers readers strikingly
insightful and modern reflections on human nature. Charlotte Lennox
was a friend of both Samuel Richardson and Samuel Johnson and was
generally admired by many of their contemporaries. A major
influence on Jane Austen, Lennox is an innovator in the tradition
of English women's fiction. Out of print since the late eighteenth
century, Henrietta is now available in an edited and fully
annotated modern edition.
