Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Early Diary of Frances Burney, 1768-1778, Vol. 1 of 2: With a Selection From Her Correspondence, and From the Journals of Her Sisters Susan and Charlotte Burney This is believed to be the only published, perhaps the only existing, record of the life of an English girl, written by her self, in a century before that which is now in its wane. Such a portrayal of a young Englishwoman, and her times, would be interesting even if the girl had not been (as was this one) a born author, who lived among men and women more or less distinguished, herself became famous, and was admired by the admired, as well as praised by the common voice; whose brilliant reputation as a novelist was revived, some fifty years ago by her fresh and still greater renown as a chronicler of English social and court-life, during many and marked years of the long reign of George the Third. The novelist and the chronicler are shown in these still earlier diaries which are now for the first time published, as developing from year to year. Sketches revealing the future "character-monger" alternate here with innocent, tender, and generous thoughts, and feelings of affection to kinsfolk and friends, more than commonly lasting, as well as warm; with traits of a disposition very mobile, but singularly steady; very lively, but very sweet; discreet, and considerate almost to moral precocity. The character of Frances Burney shows itself on every leaf of these journals, even as the story of her first youth tells itself as we turn them.
