The Works of Maria Edgeworth, Part I Vol 6

by Marilyn Butler

Overview

This book explores British society and discriminates between its people and their lifestyles, investigates English politics, and addresses the objections of the medical and legal professions. MARIA EDGEWORTH was born in 1768. Her first novel, Castle Rackrent (1800) was also her first Irish tale. The next such tale was Ennui (1809), after which came The Absentee, which began life as an unstaged play and was then published (in prose) in Tales of Fashionable Life (1812), as were several of her other stories. They were followed in 1817 by the last of her Irish tales, Ormond. Maria Edgeworth died in 1849. Edited with an introduction and notes by Marilyn Butler.
