"The Wanderer; or, Female Difficulties (Volume 1 of 5)" by Fanny Burney is a novel written in the early 19th century. This work explores themes of identity, social class, and the complexities of female experiences during a tumultuous historical period, often focusing on the experiences of the protagonist, a mysterious young woman who seeks safety and understanding amidst societal chaos. As the story progresses, she encounters various characters who reflect differing societal values, exposing the difficulties and prejudices faced by women in that era. At the start of the novel, a group of English passengers on a small vessel are departing the French coast during the dark and cold of night. As they prepare to leave, they hear an anguished voice pleading for help from the shore, which turns out to belong to a distressed woman, later known as the Incognita. Despite some initial hesitance from the other passengers, one young man insists on saving her, leading the mysterious woman to join them. The passengers engage in speculation about her background and intentions, highlighting their curiosity and the uncertainties she represents, setting the stage for explorations of identity, class, and morality throughout the novel.
