These volumes gather together a body of critical sources on the
major figures in literature. Each volume presents contemporary
responses to a writer's work, enabling students and researchers to
read for themselves, for example, comments on early performances of
Shakespeare's plays, or reactions to the first publication of Jane
Austen's novels. The selected sources range from important essays
in the history of criticism to journalism and contemporary opinion,
and documentary material such as letters and diaries. Significant
pieces of criticism from later periods are also included, in order
to demonstrate the fluctuations in an author's reputation. Each
volume contains an introduction to the writer's published works, a
selected bibliography, and an index of works, authors and subjects.
The Critical Heritage gathers together a large body of critical
sources on major figures in literature. Each volume presents
contemporary responses to a writer's work, enabling student and
researcher to read the material themselves.
First published in 1796, Camilla deals with the matrimonial
concerns of a group of young people-Camilla Tyrold and her sisters,
the daughters of a country parson, and their cousin Indiana
Lynmere-and, in particular, with the love affair between Camilla
herself and her eligible suitor, Edgar Mandlebert. The path of true
love, however, is strewn with intrigue, contretemps and
misunderstanding. An enormously popular eighteenth-century novel,
Camilla is touched at many points by the advancing spirit of
romanticism. As in Evelina, Fanny Burney weaves into her novel
strands of light and dark, comic episodes and gothic shudders, and
creates a pattern of social and moral dilemmas which emphasize and
illuminate the gap between generations.
