EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of Fanny (Frances) Burney, a prominent English novelist of the 18th and 19th centuries. The photograph, taken in 1843, showcases her elegant attire and sophisticated style. As the daughter of renowned musicologist Dr Charles Burney, Fanny's passion for literature was nurtured from an early age. Fanny Burney married General d'Arblay, a French refugee, in 1793. Despite being known as Madame d'Arblay later in life, she is best remembered by her maiden name. Her literary contributions include three major novels: Evelina (1778), Cecilia (1782), and Camilla (1796). These works solidified her reputation as a talented author who skillfully depicted societal norms and challenges faced by women during that era. The engraving beautifully portrays Fanny with a hat adorning her head – symbolizing both elegance and intellect. It serves as a reminder that she defied societal expectations by pursuing writing as a profession at a time when it was uncommon for women to do so. This print from the Diary and Letters of Madame D'Arblay offers us an intimate glimpse into the life of this remarkable lady who left an indelible mark on English literature. Through her words, Fanny Burney transported readers to different worlds while shedding light on social issues prevalent during Georgian Britain. As we admire this monochrome image captured by o'Deà
