The novel, about the trials and tribulations of a young upper class woman who must negotiate London society for the first time and who falls in love with a social superior, belongs to the genre of the novel of manners . A panoramic novel of eighteenth-century London, Cecilia was highly successful with at least 51 editions.BACKGROUND:Frances Burney (13 June 1752 - 6 January 1840), also known as Fanny Burney and after her marriage as Madame d'Arblay , was an English novelist, diarist and playwright. She was born in Lynn Regis, now King's Lynn , England, on 13 June 1752, to musical historian Dr. Charles Burney (1726-1814) and Esther Sleepe Burney (1725-1762). The third of six children, she was self-educated and began writing what she called her "scribblings" at the age of ten. In 1793, aged 42, she married a French exile, General Alexandre D'Arblay. Their only son, Alexander, was born in 1794. After a lengthy writing career, and travels that took her to France for more than ten years, she settled in Bath, England , where she died on 6 January 1840.CONDITION:Conditions are Good+/Very Good.
