Présentation: Evelina Dans ce roman épistolaire en trois volumes, Evelina, l'héroïne éponyme, est la fille non reconnue d'un aristocrate anglais qui mène une vie dissipée. Elle doit à sa naissance équivoque d'être élevée loin du monde, à la campagne, jusqu'à ses dix-sept ans. À travers toute une série d'évènements humoristiques qui se déroulent à Londres et dans le lieu de villégiature qu'est Hotwells, près de Bristol, Evelina apprend à trouver son chemin dans le dédale complexe de la société du XVIIIe siècle et gagne l'amour d'un noble seigneur. Ce roman sentimental comprend des aspects faisant appel à la sensibilité (sensibility, dans le sens que le terme avait alors en Angleterre) ainsi qu'à un romantisme précoce; la satire de la société qu'il dresse en fait un précurseur important des oeuvres ultérieures de Jane Austen et de Maria Edgeworth, dont les romans explorent de nombreux aspects très similaires.
