Through intersecting readings of quixotic narratives, including work by Charlotte Lennox, Laurence Sterne, George Colman, Richard Graves, and Elizabeth Hamilton, Amelia Dale argues that literature was envisaged as imprinting--most crucially, in gendered terms--the reader's mind, character, and body. \u003ci\u003eThe Printed Reader\u003c\/i\u003e brings together key debates concerning quixotic narratives, print culture, sensibility, empiricism, book history, and the material text, connecting developments in print technology to gendered conceptualizations of quixotism. Tracing the meanings of quixotic readers' bodies, \u003ci\u003eThe Printed Reader\u003c\/i\u003e claims the social and political text that is the quixotic reader is structured by the experiential, affective, and sexual resonances of imprinting and impressions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Published by Bucknell University Press.
