Book Synopsis
The fifth of six volumes that will present in their entirety Frances Burney's journals and letters from July 1786, when she assumed the position of Keeper of the Robes to Queen Charlotte, to her resignation in July 1791. This volume brings together the letters and journals of 1789.

Trade Review
The Facinations of this volume lie in these occasional flashes of the Burney of Evelina and Cecilia, and the way, almost by accident, she reveals court life at its most regressive - snobbish, insular, gossipy. * Kate Chisholm, Times Literary Supplement *
Immaculately edited, generously footnoted and with a comprehensive introduction. * Maggie Lane, Burney Letter *
