Fans of Jane Austen's work will enjoy the novels of her predecessor Fanny Burney, who many critics and historians agree exerted a profound influence over Austen's evolution as a writer. The sweeping novel Cecilia follows one well-born woman's quest to find a suitable husband who will meet the exacting stipulations set forth by her family.
"When heiress Cecilia Beverley receives an inheritance from her uncle, the Dean, it comes with the stipulation that her future husband must change his name to Beverley. Besieged by suitors only after her fortune, Cecilia eventually falls in love with the only son and heir of a proud family-- one that prevents him from changing his name. A social satire, Cecilia is both a love story and an examination of British upper-class conventions."
"Cecilia this fair traveller had lately entered into the one-and-twentieth year of her age. Her ancestors had been rich farmers in the county of Suffolk though her father in whom a spirit of elegance had supplanted the rapacity of wealth had spent his time as a private country gentleman satisfied without increasing his store to live upon what he inherited from the labours of his predecessors."
