Description

In Evelina or the History of a Young Lady’s Entrance into the World, the title character leaves her isolated country home for vibrant London society.

As she stumbles through the city, she encounters many people including the handsome, Lord Orville. Evelina is a young woman who’s spent her entire childhood in seclusion.

Although the legitimate daughter of Sir John Belmont, she was raised in the country with Reverend Villars.

When Evelina is offered a chance to visit London, she quickly accepts the opportunity.

Upon her arrival, her questionable origins and naïveté make her a target for rumors and speculation.

Despite her unconventional ways, she catches the eye of nobleman, Lord Orville and tries to navigate formal rules of society and courtship. Evelina or the History of a Young Lady’s Entrance into the World is a compelling story bursting with humor and romanticism.

The author beautifully weaves multiple characters and arcs into one satisfying narrative. Originally published in 1778, Evelina maintains its refreshing outlook on contemporary life. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Evelina is both modern and readable.
