Evelina: or the history of a young lady's entrance into the world
(Adult Book)

This ed. originally published: 2002

Bibliography: p. xxxvii-xxxix

Richly comic yet gravely moral, this is the story of a young provincial girl's initiation into the ways of the world in 18th-century England. It is at once an attack on the new consumerism, an investigation of women's position in society, and a love story.
