"The Practice of Quixotism" models how to think simultaneously
about postmodern theory and eighteenth-century texts. The
postmodern claim that we encounter "reality" only through cultural
scripts of which we are unaware has a long history:
eighteenth-century writers thought about this same possibility with
the help of quixote figures, who view the "real" through texts they
have read. Focusing on unorthodox quixote narratives written by
eighteenth-century women, many now popular in today's classroom,
"The Practice of Quixotism" will fascinate readers interested in
recent theory, in eighteenth-century culture, in eighteenth-century
women writers--or in the descendants of Don Quixote, who celebrated
his 400th birthday in 2005.
