I was searching the Librivox catalog by author for "Fanny Burney" and got no hits. Knowing that Librivoxers wouldn't have missed the chance of recording her novels, I thought a bit before realising that I should search for "Frances Burney" instead.

I suppose that "Frances Burney" was how the author was styled on the title page of the novels recorded by Librivox and her Wikipedia entry is under "Frances." But Amazon, Goodreads, Gutenberg, her recent biographer and articles about the author seem to use the more familiar "Fanny".

Should we have either a "see reference" from "Fanny Burney" to "Frances Burney" or maybe duplicate entries (as bytes are so cheap)?

I'm not even going to mention that FB also published under her married name - "Madame D'Arblay". :mrgreen:

Fixed! Including Madame D'Arblay. I didn't research, just took your word for that. :)
