This Scholarly Edition Presents For The First Time All Of The Known Surviving Letters Of British Novelist Sarah Harriet Burney (17721884). The Overwhelming Majority Of These Lettersmore Than Ninety Percenthave Never Before Been Published.Burney'S Accomplishments, Says Lorna J. Clark, Have Been Unjustly Overlooked. She Published Five Works Of Fiction Between 1796 And 1839, All Of Which Met With Reasonable Success, Including Traits Of Nature (1812), Which Sold Out Within Three Months. These Letters Position Burney Among Her Fellow Women Writers And Shed Light On Her Relations With Her Publisher And Her Ambivalence Toward Her Own Work And Her Readership. Her Lively Observation Of The Literary Scene Evinces The Range And Scope Of Her Reading, As Well As Her Awareness Of Literary Trends And Developments. Burney Was, For Example, Remarkably Prescient In Recognizing, And Praising From The First, The Talent Of Jane Austen, And Met Several Of The Authors Of Her Day.A Challenging New Perspective On Family Matters Also Emerges In The Letters. The Youngest Child Of The Second Marriage Of Charles Burney, And The Only Daughter To Remain Unmarried, Sarah Harriet Had The Unenviable Task Of Caring For Her Father In His Later Years. Her Letters Reveal A Darker Side Of Dr. Burney, And Also Help To Round Out Our Image Of A More Favored Daughter, Sarah Harriet'S Halfsister (And Fellow Novelist), Frances Burney.As Literature, Clark Observes, Burney'S Letters Are, Arguably, Her Best Work. Thoroughly Versed In The Epistolary Arts, She Sought Always To Amuse And Entertain Her Correspondents. Burney Ultimately Emerges As A Quiet But Heroic Single Woman, Relegated To The Margins Of Society Where She Struggled For Independence And Selfrespect. Displaying Literary Qualities And A Lively Sense Of Humor, The Letters Provide A Fascinating Insight Into The Literary, Political, And Social Life Of The Day.
