Autor

Frances Burney, also known as Fanny Burney and later as Madame d'Arblay, was an influential English novelist, diarist, and playwright, born on June 13, 1752, in King's Lynn, England. She was the daughter of Charles Burney, a renowned musicologist, and Esther Sleepe. Burney gained significant recognition for her sharp wit, keen social commentary, and insightful observations of 18th-century English society. In addition to her literary work, Burney held a prominent position in the royal court as the "Keeper of the Robes" to Queen Charlotte, wife of King George III, from 1786 to 1790. This role exposed her to the intrigues and rigid formalities of royal life, experiences which influenced her later works. In 1793, at the age of 41, Burney married Alexandre Jean-Baptiste Piochard, a French exile who became General Alexandre d'Arblay. The couple had one son, Alexander Charles L. d'Arblay. Burney's life was marked by both personal and professional challenges, yet she continued to write, producing notable works such as Evelina, Cecilia, and Camilla, in addition to her plays, The Witlings and Edwy and Elgiva.
