Recensioner i media
'Of particular interest...is the appendix, which lists the literary allusions in these plays and, once again, reminds us of Burney's subtle message about a woman's education. Her own knowledge of literature was clearly vast... Sabor and Sill offer a broader interpretation of Burney's diverse literary oeuvre and a more layered understanding of "the protean [Frances] Burney."' Eighteenth-Century Studies
