Frances Burney: Life Writing as Material Autobiography
Thursday, 21st March, 2024 , 5:00pm to 6:30pm
Francesca Saggini will introduce us to the life and work of the pioneering author Frances Burney (1752–1840), followed by a creative writing workshop inspired by Burney’s work.
Frances Burney was an English satirical novelist, diarist and playwright. Her work was mercilessly criticised at the time by male reviewers who described it as an “unsightly display of [female] egotism.” We will read some of her dramatic works and letters, focusing on the representation of emotion in private and public writing.
