AB The British novelist Sarah Harriet Burney. (1772-1844) achieved great popularity at the beginning of the nineteenth century, although she was always overshadowed by her half-sister, the celebrated Frances Burney (1752-1840). This paper aims to throw some new light on both novelists and revises how each Burney sister dealt with three key issues in Bumey Studies (female identity, the young artist's position in society and cultural alterity or "Otherness") in their works The Wanderer (1814) and The Renunciation (1839). It will also provide the opportunity to introduce to current readers an outstanding novelist who has much in common with later British women writers, such as George Eliot. Thanks to her experiences and her narrative craft, Sarah Harriet incorporated new elements to the domestic novel or the novel of education, and she registered the important changes affecting early Victorian society.
