Abstract
Here is a passage from a novel written by Richard Graves (1715-1804) in 1772. The novel is called The Spiritual Quixote and it concerns two characters in particular, Mr Geoffrey Wildgoose and his manservant, Jerry Tugwell, who set off through England to preach Methodism in much the same way as Don Quixote and Sancho Panza had set out to present an example to the world of the virtues of chivalry in Cervantes’ novel, published in 1605.
