| Summary | "Fanny Burney (Madame D’Arblay)" by Austin Dobson is a biographical memoir written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and literary contributions of Fanny Burney, focusing on her upbringing, family background, and the social circles she inhabited. As a prominent figure of her time, Burney is celebrated for her novels, particularly "Evelina" and "Cecilia," which provided insight into the lives and experiences of women in the 18th century. The opening of the memoir begins with an introduction to the Burney family's heritage and upbringing. It details the lineage of Fanny Burney, highlighting her father, Charles Burney, a well-known musician and musicologist. The narrative describes Fanny's childhood, character traits, and family dynamics, revealing her gradual development into a keen observer of society, despite her initial shyness and reticence.
