Frances Burney, Dramatist: Gender, Performance, and the Late Eighteenth-Century Stage
Barbara Darby
Though only one of Burney's dramas as performed in her lifetime, this text places the plays in the context of performance and feminist theory, declaring that in exposing the failure of such institutions as marriage and the church, Burney's dramas often exceed her novels in their social commentary.
