"Without Camilla, one cannot help wondering whether we would now have novels such as Maria Edgeworth's Belinda or even Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. Fanny was innovatory. Camilla's mother, Mrs. Tyrold, always refers to her husband as her 'partner' rather than as her lord and master. Their servants are also portrayed in a refreshingly different light." (Quoted from Kate Chisholm's Fanny Burney: Her Life, New York: Random House, 2011.)
