Scholars regard her diary as culturally important because the journals offer a firsthand, accurate depiction of English social life from a woman's perspective. She wrote of her father's drawing room where he entertained numerous significant dignitaries, explorers, actors, authors, and musicians of the day, most notably, Dr. Samuel Johnson. This glimpse into life in the 18th century is a must-read for historians and Jane Austen fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBurney, Francis:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - FRANCES BURNEY (1752-1840), daughter of English musician Charles Burney, Frances published her most noted work, Evelina in 1778 anonymously and without her father's knowledge, only revealing her secret after the novel became widely popular in London.
