Produktbeschreibung

Frances Burney's "The Wanderer" is a profound exploration of identity, autonomy, and the struggles of a woman navigating a patriarchal society in 19th-century England. With a narrative style characterized by vivid characterization and intricate psychological insight, Burney weaves the tale of Juliet, a young woman who becomes a displaced wanderer after her exile from France during the Revolution. This novel is steeped in rich historical context, reflecting the societal upheaval of her time, and addresses themes of social justice and female resilience against the constraints imposed by gendered expectations. Frances Burney, an influential figure in the evolution of the English novel, drew from her own experiences of social ostracism and personal resilience. Born into a literary family, Burney was a keen observer of social dynamics and the plight of women, which compelled her to craft complex female protagonists. Her prior works, including "Evelina" and "Cecilia," highlighted her ability to blend satire with deep emotional engagement, paving the way for her more mature reflections in "The Wanderer." "The Wanderer" is a compelling reading choice for anyone interested in feminist literature and the social commentary of the 18th century. Burney's insights into the human condition and the struggle for personal agency resonate powerfully today, making this novel a timeless exploration of the intersections of power, gender, and survival.
