manuscripts of her work. The work includes a general introduction,
headnotes to each play, explanatory notes and variant readings.
The first edition of the complete plays of Fanny Burney which is
taken from the original manuscripts of her work. The edition will
include a general introduction, headnotes to each play, explanatory
notes and variant readings. It also reveals Burney in a hitherto
little-known role as a comic and tragic dramatist and provides many
new insights into her overall achievements. Fanny Burney
(1752-1840) published relatively little during her lifetime: four
novels, Evelina (1778), Cecilia (1782) and a pamphlet. In 1779 whe
wrote The Witlings, a satire on the Bluestockings, but the play was
never performed in case of possible scandal. Whilst a Keeper of the
Robes of Queen Charlotte, Burney wrote historical tragedies,
including The Siege of Pevensey, Hubert de Vere and Elberta and
Edwy and Elgiva, which was performed at Drury Lane in 1795, but was
an immediate commercial failure.
