Evelina, or the History of a Young Lady's Entrance into the World is a novel
written by English author Fanny Burney and first published in 1778. In this
epistolary novel, the title character Evelina is the unacknowledged but
legitimate daughter of a dissipated English aristocrat, thus raised in rural
seclusion until her seventeenth year. Through a series of humorous events that
take place in London and the resort town of Hotwells, near Bristol, Evelina
learns to navigate the complex layers of eighteenth century society and earn the
love of a distinguished nobleman. This sentimental novel, which has notions of
sensibility and early romanticism, satirizes the society in which it is set and
is a significant precursor to the work of Jane Austen and Maria Edgeworth, whose
novels explore many of the same issues.

Hugh Thomson (1860-1920) was born in Kingsgate Street, Coleraine, Co.
Londonderry, the eldest child of John and Catherine Thomson. Thomson was
educated in the model school in .,Coleraine. At age fourteen he started working
at the local linen industry but three years later he entered the employment of
Marcus Ward & Co., colour printers and publishers in Belfast where his talent
for drawing was encouraged by John Vinycomb, head of the art department. He
married Jessie Naismith Miller in 1884 and moved to London, where he took up
employment with Macmillan & Co. on the English Illustrated Magazine, joining
some of the most distinguished writers and illustrators of the day. Thomson
provided scenes of Covent Garden and Regency Bath and the illustrations for the
Addison and Steele Spectator papers Days with Sir Roger de Coverley (1886-7).
Thompson's style reflected the nostalgia of the time, his fine line drawing of
rural characters and gentle countrified society appealing to the imagination of
the public.

Frances Burney (1752-1840), also known as Fanny Burney and after her marriage as
Madame d'Arblay, was an English satirical novelist, diarist and playwright. She
was born in Lynn Regis, now King's Lynn, England, on 13 June 1752, to the
musician and music historian Dr. Charles Burney (1726-1814) and his first wife,
Esther Sleepe Burney (1725-1762). The third of her mother's six children, she
was self-educated and began writing what she called her "scribblings" at the age
of ten. In 1793, aged 41, she married a French exile, General Alexandre
D'Arblay. Their only son, Alexander, was born in 1794. After a lengthy writing
career, and travels during which she was stranded in France by warfare for more
than ten years, she settled in Bath, England, where she died on 6 January 1840.
