Books, Manuscripts
Fanny Burney and Adele, Comtesse de Boigne, were two of the most remarkable female writers of the late 18th and early 19th centuries: one a famous novelist, the other an aristocrat from one of France's most ancient families. Both women used memoirs and diaries to document their lives in the upper echelons of society in London and Paris. Brian Unwin provides an insight into the principal events and characters of one of the most seminal and turbulent periods of modern European history.
