'Of particular interest...is the appendix, which lists the literary allusions in these plays and, once again, reminds us of Burney's subtle message about a woman's education. Her own knowledge of literature was clearly vast... Sabor and Sill offer a broader interpretation of Burney's diverse literary oeuvre and a more layered understanding of "the protean [Frances] Burney."' Eighteenth-Century Studies

This edition contains two of Frances Burney's comedies: "The Witlings", (1778-80) which satirizes the bluestockings; and "The Woman Hater" (1800-02), which explores social pretension and gender conflict.
