Encyclopedia of the essay
Edgeworth, Maria
Irish, 1768-1849
Web www.custom-essay.net Although Edgeworth dabbled in several genres, such as translation, drama, tale, and novel, her first published work, Letters for Literary Ladies (1795), is a collection of three pieces: two written in epistolary form and the third in essay form. "An Essay on the Noble Science of Self-Justification" humorously explores the feminine argumentative method. As Marilyn Butler points out in Maria Edgeworth (1972), Edgeworth later expanded this essay into The Modern Griselda: A Tale (1805), a didactic novel that contrasts two wives: Griselda, the silly wife, and Emma Granby, the sensible wife. The tale comically exemplifies the arguments set forth in the essay, as Griselda insists on having the last word in every argument with her husband. Edgeworth and her father worked collaboratively on Practical Education ; however, she wrote the majority of the essays.

27. Essay On Maria Edgeworth And Classical Political Economy
Prof. William Kern, Western Michigan University
http://www.cswep.org/edgeworth.html
Maria Edgeworth and Classical Political Economy William Kern, Western Michigan University Amongst economists the name Edgeworth is a familiar one owing to the significant contributions of the British neoclassical economist Francis Ysidro Edgeworth. But what is less well known is that F. Y. Edgeworth was not the first in the Edgeworth family to have a considerable interest in economics. His aunt, the Victorian author, Maria Edgeworth (1767-1849), could claim the title of the first political economist in the Edgeworth family. Maria was born in England, though she lived most of her life in Ireland. The family had owned property in Ireland for nearly two centuries when on Maria's fifteenth birthday her father, Richard Edgeworth, moved his family to the family mansion at Edgeworthstown. Edgeworthstown was her home until her death in 1847. The family estate was a large one involving a myriad of activities including the assignment of leases, the collection of rents, and the improvement of the land. In addition, as the most significant property owner in the hamlet, her faather also had a degree of political influence and obligations. As one of the eldest of the twenty-two children which Richard Edgeworth fathered, considerable responsibility fell to Maria both in conducting the affairs of the estate and in educating her siblings. She was, in the words of one of her biographers, "his right hand." As a result, she acquired a familiarity with economic and political matters rare for a woman of her age.

CASTLE
RACKRENT
AN
HIBERNIAN TALE
TAKEN FROM FACTS,
AND FROM
THE MANNERS OF THE IRISH SQUIRES,
BEFORE THE YEAR 1782
BY MARIA EDGEWORTH
PREFACE Some may perhaps imagine, that the value of biography depends upon the judgment and taste of the biographer; but on the contrary it may be maintained, that the merits of a biographer are inversely as the extent of his intellectual powers and of his literary talents. A plain unvarnished tale is preferable to the most highly ornamented narrative. Where we see that a man has the power, we may naturally suspect that he has the will to deceive us, and those who are used to literary manufacture know how much is often sacrificed to the rounding of a period or the pointing an antithesis. The author of the following memoirs has upon these grounds fair claims to the public favor and attention: he was an illiterate old steward, whose partiality to the family in which he was bred and born must be obvious to the reader. He tells the history of the Rackrent family in his vernacular idiom, and in the full confidence that Sir Patrick, Sir Murtagh, Sir Kit, and Sir Condy Rackrent's affairs, will be as interesting to all the world as they were to himself. Those who were acquainted with the manners of a certain class of the gentry of Ireland some years ago, will want no evidence of the truth of honest Thady's narrative: to those who are totally unacquainted with Ireland, the following Memoirs will perhaps be scarcely intelligible, or probably they may appear perfectly incredible. For the information of the

Edgeworth, Maria
From Enlightenment Revolution
Jump to: navigation search Edgeworth, Maria (1767-1849): English, Novelist Novelist Maria Edgeworth was born to Richard Lovell Edgeworth and his first wife, Anna Maria Edgeworth (née Elers). Richard married four times, and Maria was the third of her father’s twenty-two children. In June of 1782, Richard Edgeworth moved his family to his estate in Edgeworthstown, Ireland, where Maria lived for the remainder of her adult life, aside from periodic trips to England and Scotland. Because of the success of her writings, she became friends with other famous authors such as William Wordsworth, Lord Byron, and Sir Walter Scott. Practical Education (1798), written by Richard and Maria Edgeworth, is their tract on progressive methodologies of education. The Edgeworths disapproved of current ways of teaching and offered unique alternatives. Practical Education has often been considered the most influential and significant treatise on education reform in England of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Edgeworth is an important literary figure in that she was arguably the first novelist to write realistically about life in Ireland. On this subject, previous English writers had employed prejudices and stereotypes in their pieces. Edgeworth, contrariwise, wrote about what she witnessed on a daily basis in Ireland and penned four novels

Characters
'For this, hands, lips, and eyes were put to school,
And each instructed feature had its rule.' Mrs Stanhope did not find Belinda such a docile pupil as her other nieces, for she had been educated chiefly in the country; she had early been inspired with a taste for domestic pleasures; she was fond of reading, and disposed to conduct herself with prudence and integrity. Her character, however, was yet to be developed by circumstances. Mrs Stanhope lived at Bath, where she had opportunities of showing her niece off, as she thought, to advantage; but as her health began to decline, she could not go out with her as much as she wished. After manoeuvring with more than her usual art, she succeeded in fastening Belinda upon the fashionable Lady Delacour for the season. Her ladyship was so much pleased by Miss Portman's accomplishments and vivacity, as to invite her to spend the winter with her in London. Soon after her arrival in town, Belinda received the following letter from her aunt Stanhope.

Edgeworth, Maria
(b. Jan. 1, 1767, Blackbourton, Oxfordshire, Eng.d. May 22, 1849, Edgeworthstown, Ire.), Anglo -Irish writer, known for her children's stories and for her novels of Irish life. She lived in England until 1782, when the family went to Edgeworthstown, northwest of Dublin, where Maria, then 15 and the eldest daughter, assisted her father in managing his estate. In this way she acquired the knowledge of rural economy and of the Irish peasantry that was to be the backbone of her novels. Domestic life at Edgeworthstown was busy and happy. Encouraged by her father, Maria began her writing in the common sitting room, where the 21 other children in the family provided material and audience for her stories. She published them in 1796 as The Parent's Assistant. Even the intrusive moralizing, attributed to her father's editing, does not wholly suppress their vitality, and the children who appear in them, especially the impetuous Rosamond, are the first real children in English literature since Shakespeare.

Maria Edgeworth (17681849), English novelist and teacher, wrote Castle Rackrent One of the eminent intellectuals in Irish history, for more than a quarter-century she bore her high standards as an educationist and writer on class, race and gender. Outspoken and small in stature she was never short on grace and wit. Maria Edgeworth was born on 1 January 1768 at her maternal grandfather's home at Black Bourton, Oxfordshire, England. Her father, an Anglo-Irishman Richard Lovell Edgeworth (17441817), writer, scientist, inventor and educationist, who would marry four times and have twenty-four children. Her mother, Anna Maria Elers (17431773), would die when Maria was six, attended by Dr. Darwin, Charles' Darwin's father, who tried in vain to save her. The beautiful Honora Sneyd (d.1780) became Maria's first step-mother. Under the ever-watchful eye of her father, a follower of
