Brief Reflections relative to the Emigrant French Clergy

Fanny Burney

1752–1840

Best known for sharp, lively novels such as Evelina and Cecilia, this English writer helped shape the novel of manners with wit, social insight, and an eye for awkward human comedy. Her journals and letters also left behind one of the richest firsthand records of literary and court life in late 18th-century Britain.
