The Greatest Works of Frances Burney (Illustrated) - Complete Novels, A Play, Diary, Letters & Biography of the Author - Including Evelina, Cecilia, Camilla, The Wanderer & The Witlings

Frances Burney was a famous English novelist, diarist and playwright. Burney's novels explore the lives of English aristocrats, and satirize their social pretensions and personal foibles, with an eye to larger questions such as the politics of female identity. She has gained critical respect in her own right, but she also foreshadowed such novelists of manners with a satirical bent as Jane Austen and Thackeray.
