Maria Edgeworth
Maria Edgeworth (1767-1849) was a prolific novelist whom Sir Walter Scott called "one of the wonders of our age." First she published essays and illustrative stories for children; then, in 1800, came the novel for which she is best remembered, Castle Rackrent. By 1814, when she had published half her total literary output-Popular Tales, Belinda, The Modern Griselda, Tales of Fashionable Life in six volumes (including The Absentee), and Patronage- she was the Great Maria both in the British Isles and on the Continent. Her influence can be traced in English fiction from that time forward.

Maria Edgeworth's Irish Writing
Edgeworth is regarded as a pioneer in the development of the regional novel and the use of vernacular language. This study investigates her attitudes towards language and regionalism. It shows, by a detailed discussion of her major Irish texts - Castle Rackrent , Essay on Irish Bulls , Ennui , The Absentee and Ormond - how her intellectual 'Lunar' background, and her life in Ireland during the momentous years of the Union is reflected in the form and language of her writing.
