"Misery is a guest that we are glad to part with, however certain of her speedy return."
-Frances Burney, The Early Diary of Frances Burney (1769)
The Early Diary of Frances Burney, 1768-1778, Volume II (1889) began in Burney's teen years as her personal account of life in Georgian England but was later published posthumously. Scholars regard her diary as culturally important because the journals offer a firsthand, accurate depiction of English social life from a woman's perspective. This second volume delves into Burney's development of Evelina and continues the unique character study of famous guests in her father's drawing room. This glimpse into life in the 18th century is a must-read for historians and Jane Austen fans.
