Burney (d'Arblay), Fanny (sh)




orig. Frances Burney

born June 13, 1752, King's Lynn, Norfolk, Eng.
died Jan. 6, 1840, London

English novelist.

The self-educated daughter of Charles Burney, she wrote lively accounts of his social musical evenings. Her habit of recording observations of society led to Evelina (1778), an epistolary novel about an unsure young girl's social development; a landmark in the evolution of the novel of manners, it pointed the way to Jane Austen's novels. Her later novels include Cecilia (1782) and the potboiler Camilla (1796).
