    <![CDATA['Lord Orville did me the honour to hand me to the coach, talking all the way of the honour I had done him!  O these fashionable people!'    Frances Burney's first and most enduringly popular novel is a vivid, satirical, and seductive account of the pleasures and dangers of fashionable life in late eighteenth-century London.  As she describes her heroine's entry into society, womanhood and, inevitably, love, Burney exposes the  vulnerability of female innocence in an image-conscious and often cruel world where social snobbery and sexual aggression are played out in the public arenas of pleasure-gardens, theatre visits, and balls.  But Evelina's innocence also makes her a shrewd commentator on the excesses and absurdities  of manners and social ambitions - as well as attracting the attention of the eminently eligible Lord Orville.    Evelina, comic and shrewd, is at once a guide to fashionable London, a satirical attack on the new consumerism, an investigation of women's position in the late eighteenth century, and a love story.  The new introduction and full notes to this edition help make this richness all the more readily  available to a modern reader.]]>
