About This Item
Frances Burney, known as Fanny Burney, was an English satirical novelist and playwright who is equally famous for her diaries. She was writing at a time when society felt it was inappropriate for women to be writers. Her first novel, Evelina, was published anonymously; it is still a well-read book. It was Burney (and Aphra Behn) who showed Jane Austen that she could be a writer. Her life was fascinating and she was an avid diarist--her diaries were originally published in several volumes.
This book, Selected Letters & Journals, covers the period from 1793 when, at age 41, she married (for love) the impoverished French emigre General d'Arblay, to her death in 1840.
It was edited by the Canadian academic Joyce Hemlow.
This is a first edition. The dust jacket is designed to look faded; the spine is light green and the rest of it is pink. This particular copy has a laminated dust jacket.
It has not been read and is in pristine condition.
