The Susan Burney Letters Project

The 330 letters and letter-journals penned by Susan Burney in the late 1700s provide a uniquely informed account of English musical culture, a chronicle of some of the period's major political events and valuable insights into the social status and occupations of an educated woman. For music, literary, social and women's historians, this Project will make Susan Burney's letters widely available for the first time - see Project Rationale.
