Castle Rackrent by Maria Edgeworth

Castle Rackrent by Maria Edgeworth

With her satire on Anglo-Irish landlords in Castle Rackrent (1800), Maria Edgeworth pioneered the regional novel and inspired Sir Walter Scott's Waverley (1814). Politically risky, stylistically innovative, and wonderfully entertaining, the novel changes the focus of conflict in Ireland from religion to class, and boldly predicts the rise of the Irish Catholic bourgeoisie. The second edition now includes new notes informed by the latest scholarship.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
