The first novel to be written for serial publication by a major
female author, Sophia follows the story of two siblings, the
virtuous and well-read eponymous heroine and her flighty and
coquettish sister. While the latter leads a vapid life in the
fashionable world of London, the former flees from a potential
seducer to the country, where she pursues true friendship,
learning, and an independent living. Previously out of print, the
novel explores such issues as the place of female education, the
opposition of city and country, the emergence of the literary
marketplace, and the development of the individual. This Broadview
edition reproduces images from the novel's original serial
publication and also includes other articles from Lennox's
periodical The Lady's Museum, contemporary reviews of Sophia, and
writings on sentimentalism.
