Description

Evelina è un romanzo epistolare che segue la protagonista Evelina Anville mentre naviga tra le difficili (e talvolta assurde) sfumature della società inglese del XVIII secolo. Il romanzo inizia quando Evelina viene invitata a Londra dalla famiglia Mirvan, segnando la sua prima vera esposizione all'alta società inglese. Ben presto si imbatte in una serie di malintesi, imbarazzi sociali e aspiranti pretendenti. Evelina è ingenua ma di buon cuore e scopre che la bontà e la meschinità si trovano in egual misura in tutti gli ambienti della società. Il romanzo cattura le maniere e i costumi dell'Inghilterra georgiana, soprattutto per quanto riguarda le distinzioni di classe e i ruoli di genere. La posizione di Evelina, giovane donna nata nella nobiltà ma non riconosciuta dal padre, si trova a navigare in dinamiche sociali difficili nel corso del romanzo e si scontra con coloro che giudicano il valore di una persona in base alla sua nascita. Inoltre, Evelina si trova ad affrontare le sfide inerenti a una giovane donna non legata, mentre cerca di affermare la propria autonomia mantenendo la propria dignità. Evelina è un primo esempio di romanzo romantico inglese e un ottimo esempio di satira sociale. Quando fu pubblicato nel 1778, le donne non erano incoraggiate a diventare scrittrici e la Burney fu costretta a pubblicare in forma anonima. Ciononostante, il suo lavoro influenzò scrittori come Jane Austen, che fece riferimento alle opere di Burney nei suoi romanzi e nelle sue lettere private, e continua a fornire una lente perspicace e spesso umoristica attraverso la quale guardare all'aristocrazia inglese della fine del XVIII secolo.
