Autorenporträt
Frances Burney (13 June 1752 – 6 January 1840), better known by her married name, Madame d'Arblay, was a distinguished English novelist, diarist, and playwright of the 18th century. Born in King's Lynn, England, she was the third of six children to the historian and musician Dr. Charles Burney. With a natural predilection towards writing, her early literary endeavors were encouraged by her family, particularly her father. Burney rose to literary fame with her first novel, 'Evelina' (1778), which received critical acclaim for its keen eye into social practices and the barriers faced by women in society. Her unique blend of satire and sentimentality marked her as a pioneering figure in the evolution of the novel, influencing later writers including Jane Austen. Her novel 'Cecilia; or, Memoirs of an Heiress' (1782) is a classic of eighteenth-century literature, notable for its exploration of the issues of propriety and the struggles of an orphaned woman navigating a patriarchal society. It was an innovative work that combined the epistolary form with third-person narrative and continued the development of the domestic novel. 'Cecilia' remains a touchstone in the study of women's literature and the novel of manners. Over her lifetime, Burney's flair for social observation was also evident in her meticulous diaries, which now serve as valuable documents for historians studying the period. She passed away after a long life filled with literary achievement, leaving behind a legacy as an author who deftly addressed the complexities of Georgian society through her compelling prose.
