description: The first comprehensive critical study of the work of Fanny Burney. Living in a world where male supremacy was unchallenged, Burney pioneered the "women's novel" by presenting a distinctively female perspective in English fiction. The author focuses on Burney's treatment of women's problems of survival and identity in an indifferent and hostile society.
