Fanny Burneyová citáty

Fanny Burneyová neskôr Madame D'Arblay bola anglická spisovateľka.

Svoju prvú novelu s názvom Evelina vydala anonymne v roku 1778. Po odhalení autorstva sa stala takmer okamžite slávnou. V roku 1782 jej vyšla Cecilia a v roku 1796 Camilla. V týchto troch románoch, ktoré veľmi zapôsobili na Jane Austenovú, boli hlavnými hrdinkami mladé, krásne a inteligentné, ale neskúsené dospievajúce dievčatá.

Posledný román The Wanderer jej vyšiel v roku 1814.

Burneyovej romány začali éru takzvaného „mravoučného románu“ . Wikipedia

Fanny Burneyová: Citáty v angličtine

“When once—which every body must be—you are convinced of the wickedness and deceit of men, it is impossible to preserve untainted your own innocence of heart. Experience will prove the depravity of mankind, and the conviction of it only serves to create distrust, suspicion—caution—and sometimes causelessly.”

“To have some account of my thoughts, manners, acquaintance and actions, when the hour arrives in which time is more nimble than memory, is the reason which induces me to keep a journal: a journal in which I must confess my every thought, must open my whole heart!”

Letter XIII
Evelina (1778)

“Look at your [English] ladies of quality—are they not forever parting with their husbands—forfeiting their reputations—and is their life aught but dissipation? In common genteel life, indeed, you may now and then meet with very fine girls—who have politeness, sense and conversation—but these are few—and then look at your trademen's daughters—what are they?—poor creatures indeed! all pertness, imitation and folly.”
