Omschrijving

Evelina is a novel written by Fanny Burney, first published in 1778. The story follows the titular character, Evelina Anville, as she navigates the social world of Georgian England. Evelina is the daughter of a wealthy gentleman, but she has been raised in seclusion by a reclusive guardian. When she is brought to London by a family friend, she is exposed to the complexities of high society for the first time. As she tries to navigate the social scene, Evelina encounters a variety of characters, both kind and cruel. She falls in love with a young man named Lord Orville, but must contend with the unwanted attentions of a lecherous suitor named Sir Clement Willoughby. Along the way, Evelina also learns about the complexities of family relationships, as she discovers the truth about her own parentage. Evelina is a novel that explores themes of class, gender, and identity in eighteenth-century England. Burney's writing is witty and engaging, and her characters are vividly drawn. The novel was a bestseller in its time and is now considered a classic of English literature.Thus it has happened, that the education of the father, daughter, and grand-daughter, has devolved on me. What infinite misery have the two first caused me! Should the fate of the dear survivor be equally adverse, how wretched will be the end of my cares--the end of my days!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
