Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Side-Lights on the Georgian Period In January 1783, Mrs. Delany, as readers of her Autobiography and Correspondence may remember, first made the acquaintance of Fanny Burney, who was brought to her house in St. James´ Place by Mrs. Chapone. Miss Burney was then at the height of her fame, having cemented the popularity she gained with Evelina in 1778 with the publication of Cecilia in 1782. But, however much she may have secretly appreciated her success, her natural bashfulness prevented her from presuming upon it, and left her, to all outward appearance, a modest and retiring young woman. In 1785 we find Mrs. Delany - a fastidious judge of female manners and morals - observing that "Miss Burney´s novels, excellent as they are, are her meanest praise. Her admirable understanding, tender affections, and sweetness of manners make her invaluable to those who have the happiness to know her."
