YEAR 1778 was Fanny Burney's annus mirabilis At its beginning she was the virtually unknown second daughter of England's most eminent musicologist, Dr Charles Burney By its end she had emerged from his shadow as the author of Evelina, a universally acclaimed novel that led admirers to place her in the ranks of Fielding and Richardson This striking transformation began on the 2gth of January On that date there appeared in the London newspapers the earliest advertisements of Evelina, or, a Young Lady's Entrance into the World The novel appeared anonymously; Burney, fearing the stigma of female authorship, had kept her identity secret even from her publisher, Thomas Lowndes, using first her brother Charles and then her cousin Edward Francesco Burney as her go-betweens with the manuscript Besides these two, only her sisters Susan, Charlotte, and Esther (Hetty) were initially privy to the secret In the ensuing weeks Burney anxiously awaited the appearance of critical reviews of her book The earliest came in the February issue of William Kenrick's London Review The normally scurrilous Kenrick gave what was, for him, an unusually warm assessment: 'There is much more merit, as well respecting stile, character and Incident, than is usually to be met with among our modern novels' (below, p 14 and n 30) On the other hand, the Monthly Review (for April) was practically unbounded in its enthusiasm: 'This novel has given us so much pleasure in the perusal, that we not hesitate to pronounce it one of the most sprightly, entertaining and agreeable productions of this kind which has of late fallen under our notice' (p 15 and n 32) In the meantime praise of the work was spreading by word of mouth through London's literary circles The earliest important champion seems to have been Mary Cholmondeley, society hostess, who recommended it to www.Ebook777.com Index Burke, William (c 1729-98) 200 and n., 205, 213, 217-18 Burney, Mrs Ann, née Cooper (c 1690-1775),
