Beschreibung:
Emphasizing Frances Burney's professionalism and her courage, Janice Farrar Thaddeus shows the protean writer who recognised her abilities and exercised them, always carefully shaping her career. Though now frequently depicted as retiring, even fearful, Burney forced on her reading public themes they were scarcely ready for, flamboyantly mixing genres, writing comically about intimate violence. Not content in old age to be merely a literary icon, she privately recorded with increasing clarity the moments when the world lacerates the self.
Frances Burney's achievements as a writer and commentator for her age have divided critics: this reappraisal shows her to be a major figure with a powerful and brave personalityProvides new insight into her happy marriage - and reveals the discovery of sexually-explicit poetry written by her husband before their marriageThe author is well known in eighteenth century studiesAn ideal introduction for students
