Description
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 and romantic landscape of eighteenth-century England. Evelina is the daughter of a disgraced aristocrat and has been raised in seclusion by a country parson. When she is brought to London by her guardian, Mr. Villars, she finds herself thrust into high society and must learn to navigate the complex rules and expectations of the upper classes. Along the way, she encounters a cast of colorful characters, including the rakish Lord Orville, the scheming Madame Duval, and the boorish Captain Mirvan. Through a series of misunderstandings, misadventures, and romantic entanglements, Evelina discovers the true nature of love, friendship, and honor. Burney's novel is a witty and satirical commentary on the social mores of her time, and remains a beloved 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.
