Description
Frances Burney's life is one of remarkable perseverance and literary talent. Born in 1752, she began her education at a young age, driven by a passion for writing that would stay with her throughout her life.
Despite facing opposition from her family and society, Frances continued to write, producing two novels that brought her widespread acclaim: Evelina (1778) and Cecilia (1785). Her success eventually led to an invitation to serve as "Keeper of the Robes" at court, a position she accepted despite personal reservations. The years spent at court had a profound impact on her life and writing.
Through her experiences, Frances Burney's remarkable story is revealed in this collection of journal writings, spanning over 72 years and offering a unique glimpse into the life of one of England's most celebrated authors.
