'Lord Orville did me the honour to hand me to the coach, talking all the way of the honour I had done him! O these fashionable people!' Frances Burney's first and most enduringly popular novel is a vivid, satirical, and seductive account of the pleasures and dangers of fashionable life in late eighteenth-century London. As she describes her heroine's entry into society, womanhood and, inevitably, love, Burney exposes the vulnerability of female innocence in an image-conscious and often cruel world where social snobbery and sexual aggression are played out in the public arenas of pleasure-gardens, theatre visits, and balls. But Evelina's innocence also makes her a shrewd commentator on the excesses and absurdities of manners and social ambitions - as well as attracting the attention of the eminently eligible Lord Orville. Evelina, comic and shrewd, is at once a guide to fashionable London, a satirical attack on the new consumerism, an investigation of women's position in the late eighteenth century, and a love story. The new introduction and full notes to this edition help make this richness all the more readily available to a modern reader. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

书信体小说，但是故事略平淡，既缺少后来勃朗特姐妹的神秘哥特情节，也没有奥斯汀的戏剧性的家庭冲突，但里面形形色色的男性角色也算是早期女性主义对女性身处男权世界的写照
评分Evelina并不是我喜欢的女性角色，是个十八世纪的天仙玛丽苏，但里面形形色色的小丑人物才是真正的主角吧
评分有看到Pamela和Emma的影子~
评分An early English epistolary novel that is not particularly familiar to most Chinese readers. Even Jane Austin acknowledges her indebtedness to Burney for her innovative style of including dialogues in the narrative.
评分too many details.
