Castle Rackrent by Maria Edgeworth
"Castle Rackrent" chronicles the oftenly hopelessly dissolute and debauched lives of the landowning Rackrent family, whilst the second novel, "The Absentee", in this collected book, set in rural Ireland and London society attacks the evils of absentee ownership and the wrongs that spring from it.Maria Edgeworth was an Anglo-Irish author of adult and children's literature who lived from January 1, 1768, to May 22, 1849. She was a pioneer in the development of the novel in Europe and one of the first realist writers in children's literature. She had progressive views on estate management, politics, and education for a lady of her day, and corresponded with some of the most prominent literary and economic thinkers of the time, including Sir Walter Scott and David Ricardo.
