Nobody’s Dulcinea: Romantic Fictions and Republican Mothers in Tabitha Gilman Tenney’s Female Quixotism
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Anonymous author of Female Quixotism (1801) and pedagogical compiler of The New Pleasing Instructor (1799), Tabitha Gilman Tenney remains a virtual enigma to contemporary critics and historians. She wrote no memoirs, left no personal papers, and elicited no biographies. Official annals, meanwhile, have overlooked the author in order to enumerate the virtues and accomplishments of Samuel Tenney, Tabitha’s husband and three times Federalist senator. Only in the diaries and memoirs of her female acquaintances have tenacious historians lighted upon a few revealing details of the author and her life. In Elizabeth Dow Leonard’s A Few Reminiscences of my Exeter Life (1878), Tabitha Tenney makes an intriguing cameo appearance when Leonard looks back to the death of George Washington:
