Patronage provides a fascinating glimpse into the society of the time, from the aristocracy and ballrooms of London to the life of a young doctor or lawyer on the make. The story centers on two families, the Percies, who work hard and are all sickeningly prudent and virtuous, and the Falconers, who live by scheming. Maria Edgeworth focuses in this novel on the various types of patronage and the many forms it takes in all strata of English society through her ingenious use of variations in characterizations and a well diversified plot. Much like her contemporary, Jane Austen, Edgeworth had a gift for conveying social conventions through brilliant dialogue and acute moral observations.
Maria Edgeworth (1768-1849) was a pivotal figure in English literature during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Born on January 1, 1768, in Black Bourton, Oxfordshire, she spent most of her life in County Longford, Ireland, which played a significant role in shaping her viewpoints on social issues of her time. A prolific writer, she was lauded for her vivacious intellect and astute observations of the socio-political landscape of Ireland and England. Edgeworth's literary style is characterized by its wit, clear narrative, and well-drawn characters, often focusing on issues of education, gender, and class. Her writing helped bridge the transition from the sentimental novel of the late 18th century to the realistic novel of the 19th century. 'Patronage' (1814), one of her significant works, offers a keen exploration of English society, making a critical statement on the detrimental effects of the patronage system inherent in her contemporary social structure. Other notable works by Edgeworth include 'Castle Rackrent' (1800) and 'Belinda' (1801), both of which showcase her nuanced understanding of Irish culture and the intricacies of human relations. Her novels were not only popular but also influential, contributing to the development of the regional novel and inspiring later writers such as Sir Walter Scott and Jane Austen. Edgeworth's contributions to literature and her engagement with the social conversations of her time have endured, cementing her legacy as a significant literary figure.
