The Complete Novels of Fanny Burney (Annotated)

Frances â€œFannyâ€ Burney was among the most influential authors of her era. Living at a time when it was considered very scandalous for women to indulge in writing fiction, she nevertheless published her groundbreaking novel Evelina in 1778. The book was very highly praised by contemporary society.

Burney would go on to write three more novels during her time, which, while not quite as popular as her first, would help cement her name in history and would inspire many other female writers to seek publication. As a critic once quipped, â€œIt safe to say, that without Fanny Burney there would never have been a Jane Austen.â€

In total, the collection comprises the following four works:
Evelina, Or, The History of a Young Lady's Entrance into the World (1778)
Cecilia, Or, Memoirs of an Heiress (1782)
Camilla, Or, A Picture of Youth (1796)
The Wanderer, Or, Female Difficulties (1814)

This edition also includes a foreword and editorâ€™s notes about each of the books.
