Evelina

Evelina: Or, the History of a Young Lady's Entrance Into The World (1778) by Frances Burney is a groundbreaking romantic satire and first novel, the classic story of an eighteenth century innocent young lady's first appearance in London society and the picaresque dangers that ensue.

Our heroine Evelina must navigate social engagements, resist scoundrels, and find true love in the form of the attractive and honorable Lord Orville.

This edition includes a new engaging introduction by Susan Franzblau.
