Before the end of that year, it had gone through four editions--a huge popular success. In Burney’s own words, it is the story, written in letters, of a young woman "of obscure birth, but conspicuous beauty,' who 'makes, at the age of seventeen, her first appearance upon the great and busy stage of life; with a virtuous mind, a cultivated understanding, and a feeling heart, her ignorance of the forms, and inexperience in the manners of the world, occasion all the little incidents which these volumes record.' As a chronicle of life in 18th-century England, EVELINA is incomparable, Burney’s heroine is a lovable (and unerringly perfect!) young woman, and the entire novel is leavened by its author’s sharp satirical eye. |
