The Early Journals and Letters of Fanny Burney

A magnificent work of scholarship. The Streatham Years, Part II, 1780-1781 makes a valuable addition to The Early Journals and Letters of Fanny Burney, under the general editorship of Lars Troide. It provides hitherto unpublished material and contains remarkably extensive and astute annotations by Betty Rizzo. She brings an exceptional grasp of Burney's world to this volume. Scarcely any stone has been left unturned, and almost every appropriate reference work has been put to good use. * Peter Sabor, Département des litteratures, Université de Laval *
Rizzo's knowledge of the Burney family and most of the relevant contexts required to understand and explain Burney's frames of reference is remarkable. The Streatham Years, Part II, 1780-1781 makes a significant contribution to research and will be essential reading for students of Burney, eighteenth-century literature and history, and women's studies for decades to come. * Brian Corman, Department of English, University of Toronto *
