| Abstract | Humorous, witty, and candid, these letters paint a fascinating portrait of Dr. Charles Burney (1726-1814), father of the novelist and journal-writer Fanny Burney, and distinguished author of the four-volume History of Music. Providing insight into the musical world of Burney's day, the letters recount his travels on the Continent as he gathered information for the History, and describe his colorful role as the center of one of the liveliest literary cultural circles of the mid-eighteenth century, of which such noted figures as Johnson, Burke, Reynolds, Garrick, and the Blue Stocking Circle were members. |
