About The Author
Lars E. Troide
Fanny Burney was best known in her own time as the author of Evilina and other novels. Her modern reputation, however, rests primarily on her extensive journals and letters. The third of eleven children of Charles Burney, an eminent musician, author, and composer, she began keeping a journal of her experiences in London’s musical, theatrical, and literary circles as a shy and precocious girl of 15.
