Hello

I recommend the library purchase the following book:
Parisian, Catherine M. "Frances Burney's Cecilia: A Publishing History." Ashgate Studies in Publishing History, 2012.

The book will add to both UQ's collection on 18th century studies and on the history of the book, the latter being an area of research strength for the School of EMSAH.

From the blurb:
'Catherine Parisian's publishing history of Cecilia is an invaluable resource for the study and teaching of Frances Burney's most important novel. Parisian's history is an extraordinary work of scholarship, the sort of book a scholar might be expected to produce at the end of a lifetime of study. More is known about the writing, printing, illustrating, distribution, and critical reception of Cecilia than perhaps any other book in the late eighteenth century, making it a key text for the discipline of book history in this period, and Parisian is our vade mecum to the history of that book.'Geoffrey, Rutgers University-Camden, USA

Thanks!
