Henrietta V2 (1761) is a novel written by Charlotte Lennox, first published in 1761. The book is a sequel to Lennox’s earlier novel, The Female Quixote, and follows the story of Henrietta, the daughter of the protagonist Arabella. The novel is set in the 18th century and explores themes such as love, marriage, and social class. Henrietta is a young woman who is determined to marry for love rather than for social status or wealth. She falls in love with a young man named Charles, but her mother disapproves of the match and tries to force her to marry a wealthy but unkind man named Sir George. Henrietta is torn between her love for Charles and her duty to her family, and the novel follows her struggles to reconcile these conflicting desires. Along the way, Henrietta encounters a variety of characters from different social classes, including a group of wealthy and fashionable ladies who mock her for her lack of sophistication. She also becomes involved in a scandal when a former suitor accuses her of impropriety. Through it all, Henrietta remains true to herself and her beliefs, and eventually finds happiness with the man she loves. Overall, Henrietta V2 (1761) is a charming and engaging novel that offers a fascinating glimpse into 18th-century society and the challenges faced by young women of the time. Lennox’s vivid characters and lively prose make this a delightful read for anyone interested in historical fiction or classic literature.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
