This thesis is a complete edition of the journals and letters of Fanny Burney (1752-1840) for January 1789. Burney was a successful and well-known writer in the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries. In addition to a number of plays and essays, which were not published during her lifetime, Burney published four novels in her career: Evelina (1778), Cecilia (1782), Camilla (1796), and The Wanderer (1814). It is, however, her journal writing that has captured the attention of the literary world in recent years because of its biographical, socio-historical, and literary value. Her journal for the month of January 1789, written at Court while Burney was serving Queen Charlotte as 2$ sp{ rm nd}$ Keeper of the Robes, is addressed to her sister Susanna Elizabeth (Burney) Phillips and her friend Frederica Locke. Included in this month is one letter addressed to her sister Charlotte Ann (Burney) Francis.
