Download or read book Journals and Letters written by Frances Burney and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2006-05-25 with total page 943 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Novelist and playwright Frances (Fanny) Burney, 1752-1840, was also a prolific writer of journals and letters, beginning with the diary she started at fifteen and continuing until the end of her eventful life. From her youth in London high society to a period in the court of Queen Charlotte and her years interned in France with her husband Alexandre d'Arblay during the Napoleonic Wars, she captured the changing times around her, creating brilliantly comic and candid portraits of those she encountered - including the 'mad' King George, Samuel Johnson, Sir Joshua Reynolds, David Garrick and a charismatic Napoleon Bonaparte. She also describes, in her most moving piece, undergoing a mastectomy at fifty-nine without anaesthetic. Whether a carefree young girl or a mature woman, Fanny Burney's forthright, intimate and wickedly perceptive voice brings her world powerfully to life.

Download or read book The Intimate Letters of Piozzi and Pennington written by Hester Lynch Piozzi and published by Nonsuch Publishing, Limited. This book was released on 2005 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although better known for her letters to men of standing such as Samuel Johnson, Hester Lynch Piozzi's letters to Penelope Pennington show a much more intimate side of the woman of whom Boswell said "to hear you is to hear Wisdom, to see you is to see Virtue." The letters start a few years after Hester's second marriage to the Italian singer Gabriel Mario Piozzi and continue up to a few days before her death in 1821. The letters provide an irreverent and intimate account of the life of a wealthy Georgian lady, the trials and tribulations of her family life, and the prejudices and curiosities of the society within which she moved. This edition provides not only the letters which were sent to Mrs. Pennington, but also an interesting and comprehensive account of the circumstances under which they were written and the background of the colorful characters who are scattered throughout the work.

Download or read book The Journals and Letters of Susan Burney written by Philip Olleson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Susan Burney (1755-1800) was the third daughter of the music historian Charles Burney and the younger sister of the novelist Frances (Fanny) Burney. She grew up in London, where she was able to observe at close quarters the musical life of the capital and to meet the many musicians, men of letters, and artists who visited the family home. After her marriage in 1782 to Molesworth Phillips, a Royal Marines officer who served with Captain Cook on his last voyage, she lived in Surrey and later in rural Ireland. Burney was a knowledgeable enthusiast for music, and particularly for opera, with discriminating tastes and the ability to capture vividly musical life and the personalities involved in it. Her extensive journals and letters, a selection from which is presented here, provide a striking portrait of social, domestic and cultural life in London, the Home Counties and in Ireland in the late eighteenth century. They are of the greatest importance and interest to music and theatre historians, and also contain much that will be of significance and interest for Burney scholars, social historians of England and Ireland, women's historians and historians of the family.
