| Summary | "Fanny Burney and Her Friends: Select Passages from Her Diary and Other Writings," edited by L.B. Seeley, is a collection of autobiographical writings and reflections from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. This work offers insight into the life and experiences of Frances Burney, revealing her relationships, her family background, and her burgeoning literary talents. Readers can expect a detailed account of Burney's formative years, notably her artistic struggles, social interactions, and the influences that shaped her as a writer and a person. At the start of the collection, Burney narrates her early life, beginning with her birth and family background. The text immerses readers in her childhood experiences, capturing her relationships with her father, Dr. Charles Burney, as well as her siblings and friends. It elaborates on Frances’s initial struggles with education and her natural inclination toward writing, despite her apparent shyness. The chapter also introduces significant figures in her life, including Samuel Crisp and the prominent actor David Garrick, who played vital roles in shaping her intellectual and social environment while she navigated her growing literary aspirations.
