Camilla, Vol. 3

Frances Burney, an influential English novelist and playwright, is best known for her satirical works and her role as "Keeper of the Robes" for Queen Charlotte. Her marriage to French exile General Alexandre d'Arblay marked a significant personal chapter amidst her extensive writing career. Burney's most acclaimed novel, Evelina, debuted in 1778, while her plays largely went unperformed during her lifetime. After years of travel and residing in France, she eventually settled in Bath, England, where she passed away in 1840, leaving behind a rich legacy of letters and journals.
