Sinossi

Frances Burney's "FANNY BURNEY Ultimate Collection" is an expansive anthology that encapsulates the rich tapestry of her literary legacy, comprising her complete novels, a play, essays, diary entries, letters, and a biographical overview. Burney's distinctive prose weaves elements of psychological depth and social commentary, intricately exploring themes of identity, gender, and the complexities of 18th-century societal norms. The collection's literary style reflects the transitional period toward the Romantic era, marked by a keen awareness of character development and an innovative approach to narrative technique that captures the intimate nuances of human experience. Frances Burney, often hailed as a precursor to Jane Austen, was born into a literary family, her father being a musicologist and her mother an accomplished author. This environment fostered her passion for writing and enabled her to navigate the patriarchal landscape with remarkable insight. Her own experiences as a woman navigating the upper echelons of English society undoubtedly informed the sophisticated and often humorous portrayals of her characters, making her work both enduring and relevant. Recommended for scholars and casual readers alike, this ultimate collection invites an exploration into the life and thoughts of Frances Burney. It is a treasure trove for those interested in early feminist literature and offers a comprehensive understanding of the struggles and triumphs faced by women in a time of great social change.

    Katherine O'Flaherty was born on the 8th February 1850 in St Louis, Missouri to parents of French and Irish descent. 
    At age 5, she was sent to the Sacred Heart Academy and, apart from a 2 year period at home when her father died, remained there until graduating in 1868.  Whilst there she began writing and became an avid reader of almost anything that crossed her path.   
    Kate married Oscar Chopin in 1870 and the couple moved to New Orleans, and later to the rural setting of Cloutierville, Louisiana to raise their 6 children.  
    In 1882 her husband died leaving her in a deep trench of debt.  Despite her best efforts to turn the businesses around they were sold, and she moved the family back to St Louis and the financial help of her mother.  Sadly, her mother died within the year.  Kate, now struggling with depression, pushed herself to write and gained a local reputation as a writer of short stories that captured the local color and vibrancy of her surroundings. 
    By the early 1890’s her short stories were published nationally.  With this widespread audience also came negative reviews, controversy, and cries of immorality as themes such as interracial relationships, the rights of women and other burning issues of the day were written about. 
    Despite the criticism, which unnerved her, she continued to write though in the main her works, around 100 short stories and two novels, were not attributed with any literary worth. 
    Kate Chopin died from a brain haemorrhage in St Louis Missouri on the 22nd of August 1904.  She was 54. 
    For much of the 20th Century her work was forgotten and out of print.  It was only in early 1970’s, with the rise of feminism and the call for a more just society that she was given the status her works had long described and shone a literary light at.  She is now safely revered as one of America’s great authors.
