Wanderer, The by Fanny Burney (1752 - 1840) LibriVox This is the fourth and final novel by Fanny Burney, the author of Evelina, Cecilia, and Camilla. "Who is "Miss Ellis?" Why did she board a ship from France to England at the beginning of the French revolution? Anyway, the loss of her purse made this strange "wanderer" dependent upon the charity of some good people and, of course, bad ones. But she always comforts herself by reminding herself that it's better than "what might have been..." This is not only a mystery, not at all. It's also a romance which reminds readers of novels by Jane Austen. Published in 1814, the same year as Mansfield Park, it shares some themes with it. It is also very modern, speaking freely of independent women (like Elinor), weak male characters, and unrequited love.

At the time when it was published, critics did not like this political novel, and said that the difficulties which "Ellis" faced Kensho, growth by pain Christian Parraga Hi, I'm Christian Parraga, aka chispofish.
