{"product_id":"fanny-burney-at-the-court-of-queen-charlotte","title":"Fanny Burney at the Court of Queen Charlotte","description":"xv, 365 pp. Red-orange boards, top edge gilt, deckled edges. Black-and-white frontispiece and plates by Ellen G. Hill. Frances Burney (born June 13, 1752, King's Lynn, Norfolk, England—died January 6, 1840, London) was an English novelist and letter writer, who was the author of Evelina, a landmark in the development of the novel of manners. Burney was the daughter of musician and historian Charles Burney. In 1785 Burney was presented to Queen Charlotte and King George III and in 1786 was invited to court as second keeper of the robes, where she remained for five unhappy years. Eventually her health suffered, and she was allowed to resign in 1791. Her journals of the period loyally repress court gossip of the years of the king’s breakdown (1788–89) but contain interesting accounts of such public events as the trial of Warren Hastings. - Britannica","brand":"Jon Lane","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41925442895942,"sku":"2345038","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/files\/2345038.jpg?v=1720887608","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/fanny-burney-at-the-court-of-queen-charlotte","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
