Hahn, Emily, - A Degree of Prudery: a biography of Fanny Burney.

NY, Doubleday, (1950). 1st ed. VG in Fair DJ. A witty and penetrating study of a fascinating time and her fabulous time. Fanny wrote her first book, Evelina, anonymously. and for 6 months heard guesses made as to its authorship. Hahn writes of Fanny with affection but with characteristicly satirical enjoyment of the fluttering feminities and masculine struttings of the period but depicts the real genius of Fanny. A lively picture of a prim lady, and an entertaining view of 18th century literary London. DJ edge tatters, owner name ft endpaper, owner notations back endpaper.
