Description
Before Jane Austen, there was Frances Burney (1752-1840). Camilla is her third novel, dedicated to Queen Charlotte in whose household Burney served as Keeper of the Robes. Camilla deals with the matrimonial concerns of a group of young people: Camilla Tyrold and her sisters, the sweet tempered Lavinia and the plain, but extremely kind, Eugenia, and their cousin, the beautiful Indiana Lynmere – and in particular, with the love affair between Camilla herself and her eligible suitor, Edgar Mandlebert. They have many hardships, however, caused by misunderstandings and mistakes, in the path of true love.
