The male characters in the novel manipulate and silence the eponymous heroine, Cecilia Beverley, who - as a woman - is a representative of the subordinated group. Through their "linguistic lawlessness," the male speakers can exercise control over her and preserve their own authority.58en18th-century literaturecommunicationgender studiesFanny BurneyFrances BurneydiplomamunkaDEENK Témalista::IrodalomtudományHozzáférhető a 2022 decemberi felsőoktatási törvénymódosítás értelmében.
