Frances Brooke (1724-1789), journalist, translator, playwright, novelist, and even co-manager of a theater, was described as ""perhaps the first female novel-writer who attained a perfect purity and polish of style.""

But it is her third novel, The Excursion, that is an important example of the fashionable and popular English novels of the late 1770s.
