Sobre IBD

Novelist and playwright Frances (Fanny) Burney 1752-1840 was also a prolific writer of journals and letters beginning with the diary she started at fifteen and continuing until the end of her eventful life. From her youth in London high society to a period in the court of Queen Charlotte and her years interned in France with her husband Alexandre d’Arblay during the Napoleonic Wars she captured the changing times around her creating brilliantly comic and candid portraits of those she encountered - including the ’mad’ King George Samuel Johnson Sir Joshua Reynolds David Garrick and a charismatic Napoleon Bonaparte. She also describes in her most moving piece undergoing a mastectomy at fifty-nine without anaesthetic. Whether a carefree young girl or a mature woman Fanny Burney’s forthright intimate and wickedly perceptive voice brings her world powerfully to life.
