Description
In the plays, as in her novels, Burney satirizes the social conventions and pretensions of her day.
The Witlings (1779), her first play, is a biting satire on the Bluestockings; it was never performed, however, for fear of a possible scandal.
The violent, the grotesque, and the macabre also figure strongly in her writings.
