Description - The Witlings and the Woman Hater by Geoffrey M Sill
This edition contains two of Frances Burney's comedies: "The Witlings", (1778-80) which satirizes the bluestockings (but which was never performed for fear of scandal); and "The Woman Hater" (1800-02), which explores social pretension and gender conflict. By placing the two works together, the book enables the reader to observe both the genesis and fruition of a literary idea. The introduction examines Burney's debt to Moliere and the English tradition, the themes of misogyny and misanthropy, and Burney's claim to a place in the literary canon beyond her status as a novelist.
