This illustrated edition brings together the complete works of Frances Burney, one of the most important and influential writers of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Known for her wit, keen social observation, and pioneering contributions to the novel form, Burney’s works offer a rich and lively portrayal of the complexities of English society, manners, and relationships during the Georgian era.

The collection features her most celebrated novels, including Evelina, Burney’s sparkling debut, where a young woman navigates the challenges of entering society; Cecilia, a deeper exploration of class, inheritance, and virtue; and Camilla, an intricate tale of love, family, and social expectations. These novels not only provide delightful romantic and comedic narratives but also engage with pressing social issues of the time, from gender roles to wealth and morality.

Accompanied by detailed illustrations, this edition enhances the reading experience by visually capturing the elegance and vitality of Burney’s world. A must-have for readers of classic literature, this collection offers an essential look at the works of a novelist whose keen observations and engaging storytelling continue to resonate today.
