'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.

神煩Jane Austen和一切和她有關的作傢……
评分書信體小說，但是故事略平淡，既缺少後來勃朗特姐妹的神秘哥特情節，也沒有奧斯汀的戲劇性的傢庭衝突，但裏麵形形色色的男性角色也算是早期女性主義對女性身處男權世界的寫照
评分I know Austen better through this and find her much better than this
评分I know Austen better through this and find her much better than this
评分Evelina並不是我喜歡的女性角色，是個十八世紀的天仙瑪麗蘇，但裏麵形形色色的小醜人物纔是真正的主角吧
