By Catherine M. Parisian

In her exhaustive publishing history of Frances Burney's Cecilia, Or Memoirs of an Heiress, Parisian mines an extensive archival record that includes portions of the original manuscript, annotated page proofs, legal records relative to its copyright, and an abundance of letters, to chronicle the composition, printing, and publication of Frances Burney's Cecilia from its first edition in 1782 to the present-day Oxford World's Classics paperback. Her timely history demonstrates the importance of Cecilia to the art of the novel and the history of the book.
