Maria Edgeworth Books Overview

The Absentee

Lord Clonbrony and his ambitious, worldly wife lead an extravagant social life in London on the proceeds of their estates in Ireland. Their son, Lord Colambre, refusing to marry the heiress arranged for him by his mother, decides instead to investigate, incognito, the management of the family estates in Ireland. Appalled by the corruption, mismanagement, and poverty he discovers, he sets about finding a solution to his father’s debts and the family’s wilful indifference. Maria Edgeworth’s classic novel combines a fast miving depiction of national manners with a brilliantly witty expose of the pernicious system of absentee landownership.

Patronage

He has no right to speak, and certainly no inclination to think hardly of Miss Hauton, replied Godfrey gravely, but with an emotion, which he in vain endeavored to suppress. To change the conversation, he asked her opinion about a figure in the print. She took out her glass, and stooped to look quite closely at it. ‘Before you utterly condemn me,’ continued she, speaking in a low voice, ‘consider how fashion silences one’s better taste and feelings, and how difficult it is when all around one…

Harrington

Harrington 1817 is the personal narrative of a recovering anti Semite, a young man whose phobia of Jews is instilled in early childhood and who must unlearn his irrational prejudice when he falls in love with the daughter of a Spanish Jew. In this novel, Edgeworth attempts to challenge prejudice and to show how literary representations affect public policy, while at the same time interrogating contemporary understandings of freedom in English society. This Broadview edition includes a critical introduction and a judicious selection of appendices, including correspondence between Edgeworth and Rachel Mordecai Lazarus, excerpts from John Toland’s Letters to Serena and Reasons for Naturalizing the Jews, an excerpt from Isaac D’Israeli’s article on Moses Mendelssohn, and contemporary reviews of the novel.

Tomorrow

The motive was powerful, sufficiently powerful to conquer the force of inveterate habit. I applied resolutely to business, and supported the credit which my father’s punctuality had obtained from his customers. During the course of six entire months, I am not conscious of having neglected or delayed to do anything of consequence that I ought to have done except whetting my razor. My aunt Lowe faithfully kept her word with me, and took every opportunity of representing, in the most favourable manner to my uncle, the reformation that love had wrought in my character.

Helen

Why not?’ Beauclerc asked, ‘it was full as well worth having as many of the relics to be found in most young ladies’ and even old gentlemen’s museums. It was quite sufficient whether a man had been great or little that he had been talked of, that he had been something of a lion to make any thing belonging to him valuable to collectors, who preserve and worship even ‘the parings of lions’ claws.’
