Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fanny Burney: At the Court of Queen Charlotte This book, as its title indicates, treats of the Court life of Fanny Burney, covering the period 1786-91, and therefore constitutes a link between my two former works upon the same personage, namely, The House in St. Martin´s Street and Juniper Hall. Miss Burney´s life naturally divides itself into episodes that can be treated of separately; each possessing its own special interest and charm, owing to the marvellous vitality with which the writer has endowed the ever-changing characters of her drama. When Miss Burney assumed her post as a member of the Royal household, it seemed to all those who valued her writings that as an author she was lost to them for ever. "you have retired from the world to a closet at Court," wrote Horace Walpole, "where, indeed, you will discover mankind, though not disclose it; [for] will it escape your piercing eye ... knowing [as you do] that you have the mirror of truth in your pocket?"
