In Fanny Burney’s novel, ‘Evelina, Or, the History of a Young Lady’s Entrance into the World’, readers are immersed in the world of 18th-century English society through the eyes of the titular character, Evelina. The epistolary style of the novel allows us to experience Evelina’s journey of self-discovery as she navigates social norms and expectations. Burney’s acute observations of human behavior and societal conventions provide a satirical commentary on the constraints faced by women of that era. Set against the backdrop of London society, ‘Evelina’ stands out as a significant work of early English fiction. Burney’s blending of humor and social critique sets her apart as a pioneer in the development of the novel as a genre.
