In her final novel, The Wanderer, or Female Difficulties (1814), Frances Burney
addresses contemporary philosophies of personal identity in complex ways that
expose the ambiguities inherent in eighteenth-century notions of the self. Burney
engages, tests, and challenges the concepts of the self-in-consciousness and the abject
self to expose problems and complexities within contemporary discourses. Issues of
performance, performativity, and theatricality are also explored within the narrative to
expose complexities concerning the role of agency in the creation, profession, and
perpetuation of personal identity. Several ways in which Burney experiments with
narrative form and the relationship between the text and the reader are also
investigated, especially techniques related to the construction and employment of the
narrator.
