Belinda
The lively comedy of this novel in which a young woman comes of age amid the distractions and temptations of London high society belies the challenges it poses to the conventions of courtship, the dependence of women, and the limitations of domesticity. Contending with the perils and the varied cast of characters of the marriage market, Belinda strides resolutely toward independence. Admired by her contemporary, Jane Austen, and later by Thackeray and Turgenev, Edgeworth tackles issues of gender and race in a manner at once comic and thought-provoking.

Jeremy Walker is 44, handsome, refined and world famous for his lavishly illustrated children's books. His life is ordered, comfortable - until he is seduced by a beautiful 16-year-old runaway. Belinda: innocent yet passionate, she becomes his elegant muse and lover. His portraits of her, shocking and erotic, are the finest work he has ever done - yet to reveal them could destroy his career for ever. As his passion for her deepens, so does his obsession with the past she will not talk about. Terrified of losing her, he is unable to live with her silence; and as he probes for the truth, he finds himself swept up in the world Belinda has fled from, a world of Hollywood money, lust and dark family secrets.

Belinda
"[...] Belinda (sadly). And I'd bought her a perfectly new spade! How one deceives oneself! Delia (at table and leaning across, with hands on table). And then there was the M.P. who proposed at Windermere. Belinda. Yes, dear, but it wasn't seconded–I mean he never got very far with it. Delia. And the artist in Wales. Belinda. Darling child, what a memory you have. No wonder your teachers are pleased with you. Delia (settling herself comfortably in deck-chair L. of Belinda and lying in her arms). Now tell me all about this one. Belinda (meekly). Which one? Delia (excitedly). Oh, are there lots?[...]".
Belinda
Maria Edgeworth's 1801 novel, 'Belinda', is an absorbing, sometimes provocative, tale of social and domestic life among the English aristocracy and gentry. The heroine of the title, only too conscious of being 'advertised' on the marriage market, grows in moral maturity as she seeks to balance self-fulfilment with achieving material success. Among those whom she encounters are the socialite Lady Delacour, whose brilliance and wit hide a tragic secret, the radical feminist Harriot Freke, the handsome and wealthy Creole gentleman Mr Vincent, and the mercurial Clarence Hervey, whose misguided idealism has led him into a series of near-catastrophic mistakes.
