Produktbeschreibung
The Wanderer, or Female Difficulties Volume III by Fanny Burney is a novel that explores themes of identity, social expectations, and the struggles faced by women in a rigidly structured society. It delves into the complexities of gender roles, class distinctions, and personal freedom, all through the lens of its protagonist, who is forced to navigate a series of difficult choices in a world that constantly limits her opportunities and autonomy. The story follows a woman who embarks on a journey to escape her past and the constraints placed upon her as a woman. Her quest is one of self-discovery, as she contends with the judgment of society, the limitations of her gender, and her own moral dilemmas. The narrative examines the contradictions in how women are perceived and treated, and how societal expectations of women as passive and dependent beings create difficult and often unjust situations. Throughout the novel, Burney brings to light the personal and societal struggles women face in terms of independence, marriage, and reputation, while also highlighting the possibility of personal empowerment through resilience and wit.
Autorenporträt
Frances Burney (1752-1840), better known as Fanny Burney, was an English dramatist and writer. She contributed significantly to the growth of the book as a genre and was one of the most well-known female authors of her day. Burney was born into a low-income household in King's Lynn, Norfolk, England. Charles Burney, her father, was a well-known expert in music history. Burney released "Evelina," her first book, under an assumed name in 1778, to tremendous public and critical acclaim. Burney published many additional books after "Evelina," including "Cecilia" (1782) and "Camilla" (1796). Strong female heroes who struggled with moral decisions and cultural expectations were a common theme in Burney's books. Burney created plays, diaries, and letters in addition to novels. Burney struggled with both emotional and financial issues throughout her life, despite her literary achievement. She had a son via her marriage to General Alexandre D'Arblay, a French immigrant. The death of her spouse, as well as other hardships with money and health, characterized Burney's latter years. The contributions Fanny Burney made to English literature and her status as a pioneering female author have been acknowledged and honored.
