En savoir plus sur le livre

Frances Burney, an influential English novelist and playwright, is celebrated for her satirical works and keen observations of 18th-century society. She served as "Keeper of the Robes" to Queen Charlotte and married French exile General Alexandre d'Arblay. Despite a prolific writing career, her plays went largely unperformed during her lifetime. Burney's most acclaimed novel, Evelina, and her memoir of her father highlight her literary legacy. Her extensive letters and journals, published posthumously, provide insight into her life and the era she lived in.
