About the Book

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.

Review :
'Another notable publishing event is the recent first ever edition of the complete plays of Frances Burney... A full picture of Burney as a writer is thus made possible for the first time, and given that interest in her is growing, their publication will be widely welcomed.' - Peter Barry, English '... the publishing event of 1995 in drama is Peter Sabor's splendid edition of The Complete Plays of Frances Burney.' - James Thompson, Studies in English Literature
