Caroline Burney
Caroline Burney was the probably pseudonymous author of two early 19th-century three-volume novels published in London: ''Seraphina'' (1809) and ''Lindamira'' (1810).〔''Seraphina, or, A Winter in Town; a Modern Novel'' (London: Hughes, 1809); ''Lindamira: or, An Old Maid in Search of a Husband; a Satirical Novel'' (London: Hughes, 1810). Corvey Library: (Retrieved 1 August 2013 ).〕
The novels appeared in London at a time when Frances Burney and to some extent her younger sister Sarah Burney enjoyed fame as novelists. ''Seraphina'' was advertised on 6 and 14 June 1809 in the ''Star'' and 23 June and 5 July 1809 in the ''Morning Chronicle'' as "Miss Burney's New Novel".〔British Fiction 1800–1829. (Retrieved 1 August 2013. )〕 Frances Burney (Mme. D'Arblay) was exiled in France at the time and probably unaware of the novels, but their publication under that name was resented at least by Sarah Burney's publisher, Henry Colburn. The following note appeared facing page 1 of the first edition of Sarah Burney's ''Traits of Nature'': "ADVERTISEMENT. The Publisher of this Work thinks it proper to state that MISS BURNEY is not the Author of a Novel called " Seraphina, " published in the Year 1809, under the Name of CAROLINE BURNEY."〔Sarah Burney: ''Traits of Nature'' (London: Henry Colburn, 1812). 5 vols.〕
Sarah refers disparagingly to ''Seraphina'' in a letter to her niece Charlotte Barrett, dated 4 October 1811: "I am scandalized at Sal's〔Sarah Burney (1796–post-1868), the 14-year-old daughter of the author's older half-brother James Burney.〕 fal-lal taste in the literary way.... She ought by this time to like... something in short besides Sir Henry, and Seraphina, & a parcel of stuff only good to put money in the writer's pocket."〔''The Letters of Sarah Harriet Burney'', ed. Lorna J. Clark. Athens, GA: University of Georgia Press, pp. 141–42.〕
