| Title | Evelina, Or, the History of a Young Lady's Entrance into the World |
| Summary | "Evelina, Or, the History of a Young Lady's Entrance into the World" by Fanny Burney is a novel written in the late 18th century. The story follows the titular character, Evelina, a young woman who is navigating her entry into society and the complexities of life, love, and social norms in 18th-century England. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Evelina’s predicament as she prepares to embark on her first visit to London, under the care of Mr. Villars, who has been her guardian. The letters exchanged between Lady Howard and Mr. Villars reveal tensions about Evelina’s uncertain status, her complicated family background, and the questionable intentions of those around her, particularly her grandmother, Madame Duval. The opening portion sets a tone of awareness and cautiousness as it captures Evelina's initial experiences and encounters, hinting at her naivety and the societal pressures she will face in her quest for acceptance and belonging.
