On Jane Austen’s 250th birthday, would like to encourage fans to check out Fanny Burney’s work which highly influenced Austen, who even borrowed the phrase ‘pride and prejudice’ from Burney. Recommend starting with Evelina.
Also, Burney’s life was WILD. 🖤 #JaneAusten #Austen250 #FannyBurney

One of #JaneAusten’s favourite novels was Camilla by #FannyBurney, another English novelist of the 18th century. Austen admired Burney’s wit and ability to craft strong female characters, which likely influenced her own writing style.
