Like Don Quixote, Sterne's Tristram Shandy, and Fielding's Tom
Jones, Modern Chivalry is a tale of adventuring, episodic and
exciting. Despite the author's European inspirations, it is a
distinctively American book, not just because of its homespun,
native characters and slapstick humor, but also because it is a
narrative of journeying and questing. As it follows Captain Farrago
and his sidekick on their travels, the book's premise becomes
clear-that democracy as practiced in America is valuable and
worthy, but that it is subject to malfunctions when tinkered with
by unfit men. A pointed caricature of American life, Modern
Chivalry will be of great value to all interested in American
history and literature.
