Don Quixote in England

Book cover
By: (1707-1754)

Don Quixote in England by Henry Fielding is a delightful and humorous reimagining of Miguel de Cervantes's classic tale. Fielding expertly weaves together elements of English society and culture with the chivalrous adventures of the famous knight-errant, Don Quixote.

The novel follows the eccentric Sir Roger Mortality, a well-meaning but bumbling English baronet who becomes convinced that he is a reincarnation of Don Quixote. Alongside his loyal squire, Sancho Panza (in this version, a clever servant named Thomas), Sir Roger embarks on a series of misadventures that both entertain and enlighten.

Fielding's writing is witty and engaging, filled with clever wordplay and social commentary. The characters are vividly drawn, and the plot is fast-paced and engaging. The author's affection for both Cervantes's original work and for the quirks and foibles of English society shine through on every page.

Overall, Don Quixote in England is a charming and entertaining read that will appeal to fans of classic literature, as well as those who enjoy a good dose of humor and satire. Fielding's deft touch and clever storytelling make this a must-read for anyone looking for a fresh take on a beloved story.
