| Abstract: | Frances Burney’s Evelina (1779) is, as the novel’s subtitle states, ‘The History of a Young Lady’s Entrance into the World’. Upon publication it created an immediate sensation – indeed, with Richardson’s Pamela (1740) and Clarissa (1748), it is still the most popular English epistolary novel of the eighteenth century. In ‘entering’ the world, Burney’s young heroine Evelina Anville leaves the sheltered abode where she was brought up to experience the ‘gaieties of a London life’. |
