- Abstract
An essay is presented on the 1767 pseudonymous book "The Female American," attributed to Unca Eliza Winkfield. It focuses on the influence of the twelfth century philosophical novel "Ḥayy ibn Yaqẓān," or "Alive, Son of Awake," by Ibn Ṭufayl. The author examines Winkfield's Quaker ethics. Other topics include Quaker leaders George Keith and Robert Barclay, subjectivity and the self in literature, and Quaker ideas of Inner Light. The book "Robinson Crusoe" by Daniel Defoe is also considered.
