| Summary | "Discovering 'Evelina': An Old-fashioned Romance" by Frank Frankfort Moore is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative weaves a story around the Burney family, exploring their interactions and the impact of the popular actor David Garrick on their lives. Central to the tale is the character of Fanny Burney, who portrays the struggle between societal expectations and personal desires, particularly in the face of romantic entanglements. At the start of the novel, we find the Burney household engaged in lively discussions about the influence of Garrick, with each family member contributing their perspectives. The table talk reflects both a fondness for Garrick’s theatricality and a sense of unease regarding its effects on their domestic lives. The dynamics between Mrs. Burney, her husband Dr. Burney, and their children, particularly Fanny and her brother James, showcase the familial love and humor amidst their concerns. As the chapter unfolds, it becomes evident that Fanny, though regarded as the "dunce" of the family, harbors deeper ambitions and feelings, particularly in connection with her writing and potential romantic interests, setting the stage for a rich exploration of character and circumstance in the ensuing chapters.
