Description

"A work by turns hilarious and grim, Evelina tells the story of a young woman's education in the ways of the world, vividly rendering life in eighteenth-century England. Raised by a pastor after her mother died and her father abandoned her, Evelina leaves the seclusion of the country for her first season out, encounters all manner of people - from prospective husbands to rakes to vulgar relatives - and endures all manner of trials before she achieves her final triumph."--BOOK JACKET.
