Abstract
This article re-examines Charlotte Lennox’s work in her serial Lady’s Museum (1760–61) by placing the periodical in con versa tion with her novel The Female Quixote (1752), and specifically focusing on the author’s pedagogical interests. By drawing on the historical and biographical details of Arabella’s study and the historical, geograph ical, and scientific articles in Lady’s Museum, I trace con nec tions between the practices of read ing and self-education en dorsed within the novel and in the periodical. I argue that Lennox’s stance on women’s edu ca tion in both pub lica tions represents a more liberal feminist peda gogy than has been traditionally acknowledged. In line with recent criticism in peri odical studies, I assert that the mid-century periodical offered dis tinct educational opportunities for women.
