The novel deftly critiques the constraints of gender roles and the complexities of personal identity, blending elements of romance and satire that illuminate the period's cultural values. Frances Burney, a pioneering figure in the evolution of the novel, drew from her own experiences and keen observations of society to pen "Camilla," published in 1796.
