The Cambridge Companion to Frances Burney

Peter Sabor is Canada Research Chair in Eighteenth-Century Studies at McGill University.

"The Companion[...]provides a broad variety of perspectives on and approaches to Burney's life, time, and works, and it thus a valuable resource not only to students but also to more experienced scholars (re-)discovering the diaries, novels, and plays of Frances Burney. Even dedicated Burneyites will find a lot of juicy matter to sink their teeth in..." -Mascha Gemmeke, University of Greifswald, The Eighteenth-Century Intelligencer
