Book Description
Excerpt from A Study Maria Edgeworth: With Notices of Her Father and Friends Happy hours of childhood passed in reading the "Parent's Assistant," "Frank," and "Early Lessons," were followed by years in which I enjoyed the Moral and Fashionable Tales. "Ennui," too, had its invaluable lesson, - that the pursuit of pleasure as an occupation can only result in misery and mental and moral destruction. As one of the thousands who have laughed at the wit and cried over the pathos of Maria Edgeworth's works, I desired to know something of the personal history of this gifted woman. Inquiries soon revealed the fact that, there was no adequate sketch of Miss Edgeworth. Mrs. S. C. Hall had drawn a picture of her during a few days' visit at her home. Miss Julia Kavanagh had written a brief sketch for her biographies of English Women of Letters. Mr. Hayward, in preparing a review of the Memoir published by the Edgeworths, gave the longest biographical and critical sketch of her as yet attempted; but it was only a review article, not sufficient in itself to appear alone. The biographical sketches of her in magazines, etc., amounted to very little, being at best brief and meagre.

Book Description
The only edition of this 1800 novel—widely regarded as the first historical novel—to include supporting materials on both the importance of Maria Edgeworth as a writer and the influence of contemporary history on this novel. Castle Rackrent’s publication in 1800 signaled many firsts: the first historical novel, the first regional novel in English, the first “big house” novel, the first Anglo-Irish novel, and the first novel with a narrator who is neither reliable nor part of the action. This Norton Critical Edition is based on the Baldwin & Cradock edition that appeared as part of an eighteen-volume collected edition titled Tales and Novels of Maria Edgeworth (1832–33). It is accompanied by detailed explanatory annotations. Ryan Twomey focuses the volume’s “Backgrounds and Contexts” on Edgeworth’s importance as a writer, the influence of contemporary historical events on her writing (most importantly, the Act of Union of 1800, which united Ireland and Great Britain), and Castle Rackrent’s impact on the development of the novel. These include a selection of Edgeworth’s letters; five major contemporary reviews; biographical pieces; Sir Walter Scott on Edgeworth and her response to him; and excerpts from Edgeworth’s juvenilia, The Double Disguise. “Criticism” is thematically organized to give readers a clear sense of Castle Rackrent’s major themes: Irish writing and specifically the Irish novel, narrative voices, patriarchy and paternalism, and Edgeworth’s Hiberno-English writing. Contributors include Seamus Deane, Marilyn Butler, Katherine O’Donnell, Julia Nash, Joyce Flynn, and Brian Hollingworth, among others. A chronology of Edgeworth’s life and work and a selected bibliography are also included.
