Camilla;: Or, A picture of youth (Oxford English novels)

Burney, Fanny

Literature & Fiction

Oxford University Press

Much like her novels, Fanny Burney's personal writings provide astute observations of men and manners, often in a humorous vein. This selection of journals and letters, taken from the original twelve-volume edition edited by Hemlow, et al., follows Burney's career from her romantic marriage to an impoverished French émigré to her death some forty-six years later. Together, they form a continuous narrative of an adventurous life that included Burney's experience of political unrest, war, and exile--and, at times, idyllic happiness.

Camilla (The ^AWorld's Classics)

British & Irish

Published anonymously in 1778, here is a story of virtue rewarded, much in the style of Richardson's Pamela. Pursued and offended by cads and used by boorish relatives, Evelina finds redemption close at hand in the person of Lord Orville, who leads the heroine from chaste maidenhood to virtuous marriage. Rogers authored a biography of Fanny Burney and is the editor of The Meridian Anthology of Early Women Writers.

Evelina: or the History of a Young Lady's Entrance into the World (Oxford World's Classics)

At the beginning of 1778, twenty-five-year-old Fanny Burney, second daughter of England's most eminent musicologist, Dr Charles Burney, was an unknown. By the year's end, however, she had emerged from his shadow as the author of Evelina, or, A Yound Lady's Entrance into the World, a universally acclaimed novel which admirers ranked with the works of Fielding and Richardson. The present volume - the third of a projected twelve-volume critical edition of Burney's earlier journals and letters - covers the period from January 1778 to December 1779. It reveals her striking transformation into a 'celebrity' as she is welcomed into London's literary society, and her mixed delight and terror at this reception. As Burney becomes a regular at the Streatham Park home of Henry and Hester Thrale, she is befriended by another regular visitior, Samuel Johnson, and given the opportunity to observe and record the playful and affectionate side of Johnson's character, a side largely missed by Boswell. Urged by the Streathamites to write a comedy for the London stage, she responds with 'The Witlings', a satiric portrait of London's bluestockings. Alarmed by the prospect of disapproval from the powerful bluestocking Elizabeth Montagu, Burney's father and her friend Samuel Crisp dissuade her from releasing the piece. Her disappointment is eased by the whirling social life that she enjoys in the company of the Thrales at Streatham and at Brighton, and on which she comments with characteristic perception and humour.
