«... it has been long and justly remarked, that folly has ever sought alliance with beauty.» (from Evelina, Letter VI: Lady Howard to the Rev. Mr. Villars) ~ #BornOnThisDay: #FrancesBurney (1752-1840), also known as Fanny Burney, and after her marriage as Frances d'Arblay, English satirical novelist, diarist and playwright, who was the author of Evelina, a landmark in the development of the novel of manners, recognized as a literary precursor to prominent authors that came after her, including Jane Austen and William Makepeace Thackeray. ~ Best-known works: • Evelina (1778, novel) • Cecilia (1782, novel) • Camilla (1796, novel) ~ «Her next solicitude was to furnish herself with a well-chosen collection of books: and this employment, which to a lover of literature, young and ardent in its pursuit, is perhaps the mind's first luxury, proved a source of entertainment so fertile and delightful that it left her nothing to wish.» (from Cecilia, Book II, Chapter II: A Man of Family) ~ #birthday #Burney #FannyBurney #FrancesDarblay #Evelina #Cecilia #Camilla #EvelinaOrTheHistoryOfAYoungLadysEntranceIntoTheWorld #CeciliaOrMemoirsOfAnHeiress #CamillaAPictureOfYouth #sentimentalism #novelofmanners #book #books #bookstagram #novel #novelist #englishnovel #bibliophile #reading #read #bookoftheday #instabook #literature #bookworm #booktube #booklove #classics https://www.instagram.com/p/BypbErUAxvh/?igshid=c5xyq07mq3p9

Amo mais que chocolate este livro... . . Reposted from @pedrazuleditora - NÃO É ORGULHO E PRECONCEITO E NEM O DIÁRIO DE MR. DARCY. Pegamos as imagens de Darcy e de Elizabeth, etc, para exemplificar Evelina e lorde Orville. Vocês constatarão a similaridade de Evelina, de Frances Burney, com Orgulho e Preconceito, de Austen. 😮🥰👌 Sabemos que lorde Orville foi o modelo para Darcy. Então, relevem. O trecho inicial entre Evelina e lorde Orville lembra totalmente o primeiro encontro entre Elizabeth e Mr. Darcy no baile em Meryton. Elizabeth ouve Darcy descrevê-la como "tolerável, mas não suficientemente bonita para me tentar.” Da mesma forma, em um baile, uma amiga de Evelina ouve lorde Orville dizendo o que está no post. 😱 #pedrazuleditora #literaturainglesa #francesburney - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BxRQW2OA8gC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d8yetoi8smr7

got to look at a first edition of Frances Burney's Camilla (1796), with a note that was tucked into the first volume (on the right) stating that it was brought to special collections from regular circulation in the library. #stackrescue #firstedition #francesburney #18thcenturyliterature
